Aryn’s quilt is now full!! You are all amazing.
Thank you! Thank you ! Thank you! I am really overwhelmed at the caring and giving nature of quilt bloggers! Below is a complete (I hope) list of block sign ups for Aryn’s quilt. There should be 28 blocks in total which is amazing. As they are a narrower block I think this will work well and I can put some black empty squares in between a few to give interest so this should be lovely. Please remember black backgrounds and bugs/lizards/sea creatures etc for the jar inside. I am going to be away on vacation from Thursday the 7th until Friday the 15th and will have limited internet access while away. I am going to disable my moderation of comments so that if anyone has a question or needs help you can post a comment in the comments section and then if other block makers take a peek they can contact you with assistance. As things are growing with KidsQuilts I am going to look at creating a yahoo group or something of the sort for this purpose, when I return. If anyone anticipates needing the mailing address in the next week, please email by tomorrow evening and I will email it to you. boettcher6@telus.net
Mailing date is set for Sept 1st. I tried to leave a comment on everyones blog this evening that just signed up to let you know I did get your sign up and to thank you – one didn’t work and I can’t remember who it was but I have your name on my list below. If you had offered to make blocks, and I left you a note, but didn’t put you on the list it is my error – sorry – I have packing brain as I have to pack for 4 kids and a husband to spend a week on the beach. Please send me a note and I will add you to the list!
Also, Tyler’s border and backing fabric arrived today. It is going to go very well with the quilt top created. I need to add that border and then just the quilting to go. If those who weren’t involved in Tyler’s quilt would like a peek at the fabric selected you can take a peek in the previous blog enteries to a link to a photo of the fabric.
Have a wonderful week everyone and blessing to you all as you make blocks that are going to wrap special kids with love!
