My small quilting group is getting motivated to work on another group project for fundraising. Our last quilt sold for $400 and because we haven't sewn together since covid started, we haven't been motivated to start another quilt. But we are getting going again and encouraging each other to sew some blue and white blocks for another group quilt effort.
We are starting by sewing up the block kits we collected during the 2019 Shop Hop. This block was from the Kindred Spirits quilt store in St. Catharine's. The pieces were pre-cut with an "AccuQuilt Go" cutter and they were amazingly accurate. It went together like a dream and measured exactly 9.5".
Here are the 4 blocks I finished for this week's contribution to the project. Once we have many blocks sewn we will start talking about layouts and sizes, and how many blocks we will need to sew.For now it is in the block making phase and that's my favourite part!

These blocks are lovely, of course anything blue and white excites me. Of all the blocks, my favorite is the one on the bottom left side of the group photo. Happy stitching, blue & white rocks!
the accuquilt dies make a tremendous help in putting a quilt together
What a great way to do a group project.
Blue and white is my FAVORITE color combo! Your blocks are beautiful.
Pretty blocks in blue.
Precut pieces can be such a bonus in complicated blocks like these. Good work! I have very little blue in my quilting life, unlike most quilters I know!
Happy Tuesday, Kathy. What a fun project your group is working on and such beautiful blocks that you are adding to the quilt. Love the blues. I wanted to thank you also for stitching my little fall stitchery and adding it for your fall header, you certainly did a beautiful job and brought a big smile to my day. Have a wonderful week , my dear and happy quilting.
