After the earthquakes in New Zealand last month, Cat of Catalina's Cottage sent a call out for QAYG (Quilt As You Go) blocks. She's using them to make quilts to comfort those affected in Christchurch.
Here are the ones I made. These guys are on their way to NZ now. I just hope they're not too late! My heart's in the right place, but sometimes I can be slow getting things done...
Anyway, I hope these blocks can bring some comfort to someone in New Zealand. I can't imagine what they've been through, and thinking about them definitely puts my small worries into perspective.
I'm not sure how she puts them together. I even read a tutorial on the subject, and it still eluded me. I'm just glad she can use what I'm sending!
Thanks, Cat, for giving us a way to help.
And thank you so very much for doing this for Christchurch xxx
ReplyDeleteBTW your blocks are gorgeous xxx
love the blocks - are they strip-pieced?
ReplyDeletelove the blocks, very pretty colors.
ReplyDeleteHey...I looked up QAYG and this tutorial seemed to make sense. I think you would have to be planning on a quilt with thin sashing if you wanted to QAYG. Here's the link that made sense to me: http://lifeisbeautifulbom.wordpress.com/quilt-as-you-go-tutorial/
ReplyDeleteI liked that it had pictures. I didn't like that there would be a lot of slip stitching by hand required.
Thanks, Lydia!
