Four years ago only a few of the players had sewn, and we jumped right in - this year - it was only a few of the new recruits that had not sewn, so jumping in was much easier.
The players paired up - 2 players per machine and off we went!!
In past years they have made blocks, helped with a presentation, and Cut - but this time - they had a lofty goal - finish 4 complete Quilt tops - in 2 hours!
So we stole Kevin the Quilters 2014 Block drive block ......
and!!
Voila!!
4 Tops were completed!!
( I'll have to show you them when they are all quilted - we couldn't hold them all up)
Want to see us in action?
They do not sit still well
Having fun laying out the blocks
Watching them grow
It was a great time - and we sure enjoy having them come in and be
a part of honoring our Veterans Touched by war

What a great idea! That is such a neat thing to involve the softball girls that way. I bet they had a ton of fun!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! And what a wonderful project for the softball team. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilts.
ReplyDeleteAwesome blocks and young women. Proud to count them as quilters. Carlie Nichols
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on meeting the goal! Looks like everyone had a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to get them involved, especially in this polarizing time. I'm so glad they got to see so much accomplished in such a short time by working together. That lesson is going to last them a lifetime. And what wonderful quilt tops!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! on another successful team effort. I'll be looking forward to seeing the completed quilts!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great block for young novice sewists. QOV is a great cause. My group is presenting 15 quilts to local veterans this Wednesday at our reg Nov meeting. I am looking forward to it.
