Well, we enjoyed working together so much, and all want to keep helping out in the fight against breast cancer, that we have continued sewing together. Our deadline for the Purple Heart Quilt is looming, so the blocks are coming in...and they are gorgeous!
The leader of our band, Barbara Blankenship, has a Flickr page with a set of the finished blocks...at last count there are 17, with 8 more due this week. Do click over and enjoy these beautiful crazy quilt blocks!
This is Julie Yonge's scrumptious block....I'll have more information soon as to where this quilt is going to be exhibited before it finds its final home in the hospital....

Beautiful block! Such rich colors and elegant embellishments. Excellent.
Comment at the risk of showing the dumb fairy again - This is a Victorian valentine in deep purple - exquisite!!!
These blocks are just scrumptious! It's fascinating how the same theme can be expressed in so many different ways. I hope someday my ECQ will be good enough that I could ask to contribute to this very worthwhile project. It's not, yet, though - but I've been following Sharon's TAST and several of y'all's blogs and have been learning HEAPS! Thank you!
came across your blog through one of the web rings. I was amazed at how great the printed landscape fabric looked once you added stitching to it! I never would have thought of that! that's why I love the web rings. People are seww creative!
Thanks for the link. I went to look and they are all so gorgeous. Watching them as a slide show just tickles the creative flow. How is this earning money for the cancer fund? Or is it to hang in the hospital for inspiration and encouragement?
Very pretty!
Wow! Lavender and old lace. I love it.
How beautiful. Nice work!!!
