40 people all making at least 1 block, it's looking pretty cool so far I must say.
Now im a sucker for a good wedding and im a cry baby anyway but their wedding was wonderful and so filled with emotion, I had a fabulous time but oh did I cry. It makes me well up just thinking about it, there were so many references to Emilys mother throughout the day, she may not have been there but her memory certainly was.
Anyway these are the blocks I made, made using this tutorial.
I love them and they were so fun to make, I think I want to do a whole string quilt myself now using reds, blues and yellows.
I also decided to do a little something extra so I made this block using a pattern from this website
A little research showed me that Lavender Ribbons symbolise cancer in general, maybe this may come in handy for the back of the quilt.
Hopefully they won't take too long to get to Val, normally it should take a week UK to USA but at this time of year who knows! Lets hope this quilt raises a lot of money, every little bit can make a difference.
Keep an eye out for my checkerboard block tutorial that I have coming up later.
