Of all the Calgary flood quilt projects happening, I found
one that was appealing and possible for me to participate in. Cheryl Arkinson, one of the author’s of
Sunday Morning Quilts is collecting slabs - a 15.5 inch scrappy square - to make
into quilts. You can read about the
project and how to put a slab together at her Dining Room Empire blog.
I decided to make a teal block to combine the Flood Relief
project and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

| Just one slab |
I enjoyed the process and hope to sew a few more to help clear
my scrap drawer. Putting the block
together is very much like my Mile a Minute quilt block, just not as wonky and
much bigger.
Be sure to check out Cheryl’s Dining Room Empire blog, there is a deadline ofJuly 30th to participate, and stop by Soscrappy to see what others
are doing in Teal.

Pretty teals for a great cause.
ReplyDeleteoh, I do like your teal slab! I did two in yellow for Cheryl last month...Julierose
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of "teals" in your block!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics and blocks for a worthy cause.
ReplyDeleteGreat slab block. I love the teals.
ReplyDeleteYum! Aren't these fun? Maybe your block and mine will end up living as neighbours in the same quilt!!
ReplyDeleteThose slab blocks look like a lot of fun and I'll bet the quilts will be awesome with all those different colors and fabrics.
