do. Good Stitches blocks

Every month I make 2 blocks for a charity group on Flickr. The group is call do.Good Stitches and I belong to the Joy circle. Every month a quilter lets us know the design for the 2 blocks we will be making. This month it was Scraptastic blocks, following this tutorial . We make the blocks using fabric from our own stash, and once the quilter receives all the blocks they complete the quilt and donate the quilt to charity. Our charity is My very own blanket. It's so nice to know that the simple blocks I make will become a quilt that will hopefully be treasured by a child in need of some comfort.
Anyway, here are the blocks I made this month. They were a lot of fun and fast to make.

And I am quite pleased with myself - this is my first proper blog post!!!

    It's me again. What does it feel like to be so popular, teehee! Don't forget to advertise your blog on Brit Quilts & Lily's quilts - great places for networking. Jxo

    P.s. you can switch word verifyer off in blog settings, which makes it easier for folks to leave comments.
