They came and joined us at our sew day and dug in to making the QOV CO block Drive Blocks!!
I had all the half squares pre-made - just thought that would be easier, and had all the 2 inch strips cut. I drew the directions up on the Board .... sort of made me feel like a teacher - ha!
And away they went. There were only 4 new players this year - so only 4 new people to teach how to work the machines - and Bam!!!
They just got to work!!!
I told them - have fun, don't worry about how many you make, just enjoy!!
Dianne had made them homemade cookies -
we wanted them to feel at home!
Then one of the girls yells - those with the most blocks wins!!
And my goodness did they get those machines cranking!!
In two hours they made 103 finished blocks
and a stack of 10 that needed one more log!
Pretty dang impressive right?????
Go forth and quilt!!

Such a great idea. You never know you might have made a few future quilters in that gang of girls.
Looks like a super fun day!! Fabulous turnout and incredible (block) production.
What a great community service project! Good for those girls, I bet you will have some future quilters in that bunch!
Looks so fun! Love the group photo♥
Glad to see everyone had so much fun with the blocks!
This is just so cool on so many levels! I will bet that some of these softball players will end up quilting at some point in their life after this!
Love it! They're ballers so of course they're competetive! I can see my softball playing granddaughter yelling out a challenge like that. And who knows, maybe a couple of them will get the sewing/quilting bug.
What a super idea! Great blocks, great teamwork, it is a win-win for everyone!
Looks like a super bunch a young ladies on their way to becoming 'master quilters'. It's wonderful to have them as part of such a great volunteer organization like QOV!
There is no telling how many lives you have touched is a positive way.
Blessings to you.
What a great group! They look like they enjoyed themselves!
You just created a whole new generation of quilters - maybe! Fabric stores - be ready! :) Awesome post!
How fun this looks. They may never stitch again but it is terrific they had the opportunity to try piecing, sewing and doing something good thrown in. Wonderful progress!
Great idea and a wonderful bunch of piecers. Impressive with the number of blocks they made in 2 hours.
In that final photo, every single one of the group has a big smile! Not one bad picture from anyone. They really had fun!
How fun! They did a great job.
What a great project to do with the team!
