Quilts donated by quilters both in Australia and overseas to help bring some comfort to those affected by the tragic floods in Queensland and Victoria, as well as in the earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan in 2011, and to other welfare agencies.

Quilts for Bendigo Part 1
The top quilt was a donated top and the fan quilt was a set of donated blocks. The string quilt was a donated top by Pam C from Alexandra, Vic and the next top is a collection of cheater panels and donated blocks I combined into a quilt. The quilt with green borders was a set of donated blocks and the last quilt was a set of animal related orphan blocks which were donated by various quilters. I love finishing off other people's UFOs.
* The details are shown on the blog http://sewmanyquiltstoolittletime.blogspot.com posted on January 6th 2011. * Blocks to be made to 10.5" square. * Strips to join blocks cut width of fabric and 2.5" wide. * 21 strips needed to make and bind quilt with a set of blocks 5x7 * Tutorial on how to join the QAYG blocks together is shown on past blog http://sewmanyquiltstoolittletime.blogspot.com post Feb 2009.
