Comfort Quilts Go Green

Comfort Quilts Go Green (or 100 Ways to Recycle those unused blocks)

Quilters have been using their spare blocks and creativity to create comfort quilts for the Power of the Quilt Project. Blocks that were made but never used are being recycled into comfort quilts.

With spring in full swing, perhaps you are doing some spring cleaning. You can turn your unused blocks into a comfort quilt, or you can donate them to the Power of the Quilt, and one of our many volunteers will ensure your blocks get a good home in a new comfort quilt. Bring your blocks to a quilt-a-thon or to a RNQG meeting, and give them to one of the Comfort Quilt volunteers.

Comfort quilts are roughly 40" x 52", and if you don't have enough blocks to make a full top, you can always add some borders to fill out the top. Or you can make a partial top, and donate that to the Power of the Quilt Project.
