This year I'm working with
- A Feeling Peachy Bundle
- A set of Green from 'Well Said'

Pat's Tip
- This is all strips, so I took my bundle and cut long strips in the 2 sizes, with a BIT extra width on both
- And Keep track of your block placement.Use a design board
Pat's Tip
- I cut my strips to a working length as I go. I think it saves me time rather than measuring units out prior.
- Then sew all the random extra strips together for your scrap basket!
- OLFA Scissors.. have you tried them? they are awesome!
Pat's Tip
- As I use a strip, I will move it to the right so I know I used it already.
- The design boards really help me keep track!

On the 1st and the 15th we'll be sewing a set of blocks for the Charity Quilt along to support this year’s charity Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas!
I have a tip for making our block this week.. keep reading!
The Fat Quarter shop is offering all of the patterns to make this quilt for free, they just ask that you donate $5 per pattern download to this amazing organization and 100% of the proceeds from the pattern downloads will be donated to Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas. The Fat Quarter Shop partnered with Moda Fabrics again who has generously worked with the them since they started doing these quilt alongs to benefit different organizations.
These blocks were a joy to make and SO fun to use the stripe!
My quilt is being made with Sweet Tea Fabric, and will be auctioned to raise even more funds.
