A Block Request.

During one of our meetings a few weeks ago, Helen asked us whether we would mind making some patchwork blocks for her. She wants to make a quilt for her son's school to raffle in order to raise money for their Panto later this year. Every year it gets harder to come up with new fund raising ideas but this 'tried and tested' way has never come up before.
Each block will be 9", so if you want to help Helen you would need to make a block measuring 9 1/2". This is one of the blocks I made for the Portuguese Tiles quilt, I made too many and I'm happy to be able to contribute to a fun Pantomime.
If you want to make a block, you can choose any colour and any design, all Helen needs is that they all measure 9 1/2" and she will do the rest of the work. You can drop them off at Caverswall Village Hall on Wednesdays or Fridays or any time at The Bank House Hotel in Uttoxeter, you could even post them there if you wish and they will save them for me to collect on Tuesdays.
Right, lets see if we can get enough for this quilt, thanks for reading this.
