Bushfire Quilt Blocks!

Last week, my friend Else and I got together and worked on some Maverick Star blocks for the Australian Bushfire Quilt Project. We had lots of fun making these blocks and got quite a few finished. As all quilters know, scraps are the welcome by-products of our loving creations! To be able to find a good use for them, always makes me very happy!

Here is Else, admiring her lovely work!! Way to go, Else!! We were both so pleased to see how you can randomly sew small scraps together and create
a beautiful block like this!!! We are planning to have 25 blocks completed, sewn into a finished top to send to Australia!

What a lovely bright quilt they will make. It's nice to spend the afternoon sewing with a friend.
