Another version of anything goes

 

I've had these blocks for several years,

planning to make a red stripe string quilt from it.

But they sat in my drawer for a long time

and at one point, when we were working on the group quilt here

I thought I would incorporate them.

But I found the colours too dull,

and all of you were so generous, I didn't need them.

In fact, I didn't use up some of the blocks I made.

Fast forward to the beginning of October

when life was making me crazy

and I needed to sew something.

I took out these blocks again, sewed them together,

and found some fabric in my stash for the borders.

Now it measures 46 by 60 inches,

big enough for a donation to the children's hospital

or to a young friend needing a bit of comfort.

 

Since all these blocks were sewn on foundations,

I'm backing it with fleece, but not putting in batting.
