Quilts for Boston
Another great project -- this one from the Boston MQG. Read more about their project on their blog post: Quilts for Boston
from the Boston MQG
"We are asking the modern quilt community to support our efforts by sending us blocks for these quilts. Additionally, we will accept donations of fabric to be used for binding, sashing, and quilt backs. We would like to have the quilts ready to deliver to those in need as soon as possible, so we ask that you send your blocks to us within a month, by May 24th, 2013."
They would like all the blocks to be 12 1/2" tall by the width of your choice and made using fabrics that are blue, yellow, grey and white. They have some great examples of the color story on their blog.
We are happy to collect these blocks and the flags for the Vancouver MQG (see previous post) at our next meeting in May.
