plus Six makes EIGHT


makes 8. I was able to take some time since last months sew day for Quilts for Kids and get these beauties put together and quilted.  On our sew day in June several ladies brought squares to swap with some of mine to make the 3 scrappy quilts on the left. We used Allisons Tutorial: Easy stack cut and sew blocks over at Cluck Cluck Sew. 
These 6 plus the other two I previously made this year HERE and HERE make 8! 
Happy 8th Birthday Lincoln Quilts for kids group!!!


Here are some of the blocks we made during the day. 


I went to visit my sister one day and she helped me prepare for the sew day. We cut enough blocks for several quilts. 


You can see how fun the blocks are when they are coordinated or when they are scrappy! And they go together fast. I would recommend this as a group project. 

After quilting those in 3 days I had a feeling that my sewing machine might need some love. It is currently in for service. I am using my Babylock Jane to free-motion quilt another project. I don't want to use the word 'force' but if this is how I finally face my fear of quilting free-motion more often so be it. :)

Great quilts for a good cause. Having the blocks cut is a big help in preparing for the sew, you put a lot of work into this. I sew with a QFK group in New Jersey the first Saturday of each month and the finished quilts brought back the next month are amazing. We also have a person who prepares our sewing for the day and we can't say enough how much this is a big help and how much we appreciate it.

These are great quilts. Both the Co-ordinated ones and scrappy ones. Thanks for sharing the link. I think I might do this as a project with a couple of my buddies.
