Using Existing Blocks


Here is a quilt put together by Ellen.



She had some blocks from a block of the month that she had worked on, and she decided that she would use 4 of the blocks in this comfort quilt. These 4 blocks comprise the center row of blocks. By use of a border on each side of the center column, notice how the blocks stand out and catch your eye. Ellen added some fabric blocks to make 2 additional columns on the left and right, and finished it up with a nice border fabric. She backed the comfort quilt with a piece of polar fleece, and quilted it using some fancy stitches on each block. Bright and cheery, sure to bring comfort to a cancer treatment patient.

Do you have some blocks laying around? Why not put them to good use by either making a comfort quilt, or donating the blocks so one of the volunteers can turn those blocks into a comfort quilt.
