Some New Tops for December

Here are 3 tops which I just put together. These are all incorporating 12 1/2 inch blocks, including some donated patchwork blocks. Other techniques include creating a block out of scraps laying around.


The purple star block was from a large quilt top donation which was taken apart to make 2 comfort quilts. The remaining block appears in this quilt top. What a perfect place to showcase an orphan block.

Do you have any orphan blocks laying around looking for a good home? Contribute them to the Power of the Quilt Project, and they will most definitely get a loving home. Contact Gwyned or Paul to contribute, or you can make the entire top or quilt as well, as all donations are welcome.










Note the orphan blocks incorporated in this quilt top. I especially like the house block, as well as the star blocks. And the block with the small flying geese is too lovely to lose as an orphan block.





Remember, in a comfort quilt, people are not concerned about points that don't match. These quilts are to be used by patients undergoing cancer treatment. The quilts provide warmth as well as brighten up a dreary day.

So dig through that scrap pile, put together some blocks, have fun, and make someone's day!
