I'm on it! STAT!
Vickie's fabrics are lovely. We'll be participating also.
Kevin is getting the word out about your QOV. BTW, I'm so jealous! ;-)
As the spouse of a retired Colonel who did 2 tours in Iraq & 1 in Afghanistan, I'm definitely in.
Alycia, this will be my first time participating, so you pre-wash you fabric before making the blocks?
it's a good thing I sew better than I type..... DO you pre-wash the fabric? :)
Yay! I missed out on the last one, but can do this one!
By "plaid" do you mean like the ones you have pictured - red/white/blue, or just "any" plaid?
Woo Hoo! I just made 20 blocks over the weekend. Now to get them sent off! :-)
I just heard about this from Nina at Dieting on One Leg. Great idea and I'd like to participate. I have lots of plaids. Would you like them to be red/white/blue or any colors? Thanks!
I will get some to you soon!
I have a box of smaller pieces of red, white and blue fabric. Perfect for some blocks. I'll be sending them soon....
I sent you five blocks today! It was great fun to play with some patriotic fabric for a change!
I put 30 in a padded envelope today and will try to get them off tomorrow or Wed. Each is different as I used up a lot of FQ pieces. Hope you can use them. I had fun making them as I know they are going for a great cause...
I came over to your blog today from Vicki's blog as she posted about the QOV blocks you are collecting. I will find some time this weekend and make some for you. Thank you for constucting and distributing these quilts to deserving people!
I am so delinquent. I missed the beginning but I'm all over it now. I love to make blocks and mail them away for some one else to put together! And Vicki's hand dyes...yummy.
I'll have at least 5 to you by the deadline maybe more.
Alycia,
I am mailing 16 squares for the protect.
Thanks for continuing to serve those who protect us.
