QAYG Blocks

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.  

Earthquake Blocks

A few weeks ago, Deb of Works in Progress asked her readers to help her make a quilt for a family who lost their home in the recent eathquake in New Zealand.  She asked for 12.5" blocks (although mine came out a bit smaller...) using red or blue.  Here are the blocks I sent her today.

There's still a little bit of time if you'd like to help.  There is more information here and here.

Have a nice weekend!
