Design Wall Monday

This weekend I sewed up a big block for the Quilts For Survivors project which is making quilts for survivors of residential schools.  I did not have enough time to make a quilt to meet their deadline, so I wanted to make a big block to contribute. I have been inspired by Preeti's Positivity QAL and decided that making positivity
 blocks would be my contribution. 

I followed the free tutorial at Stitched In Color and made four 8" blocks. The project guidelines request that orange be the predominant block colour, and I made two with orange backgrounds and two with orange pluses. 


This block is now travelling to Timmins, Ontario where it will be joined together with other blocks, and made into a quilt which will be given to a residential school survivor. May it bring comfort and healing 💔

The orange looks like summer - very pretty! I haven't pieced any of the Positivity blocks yet, but it's on my list for this summer.
