This year, to mix it up... I chose not to be the only "sewist" and requested some blocks made by other family members. I asked ALL year! And one month before the auction I received blocks from only two persons. Sigh _ _ _ _
So I quickly stitch up five rows of filler rows to mimic a cabin-style quilt with some of my grandmother's favorite colors with Hopes that I could incorporate the other blocks being mailed.
Here is what I've come up with so far. Two rows of filler rows, one row of 'family made' blocks with 2" square blocks as sashing, and another filler row.
I have one more row of 'family made' blocks and then two more of the filler rows. If I get any late comers, they may have to be part of the back.....
Hoping another successful year and a good auction price to go back into the family funds!

Maybe more people will participate next year! What a wonderful idea for the auction, and I hope you get it finished in plenty of time.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting idea to raise funds. I like how you are working with what you have, and expect that it will be a hit!
