More charity quilt blocks

This week we met for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon to make some more charity quilt blocks.
 We started these some time ago and decided on a couple of different themes according to the fabric scraps we had to hand.  A 'manly' quilt using the darker and more neutral patterns, a 'ladies' quilt using the florals, and a children's quilt using the brights and motif fabrics.
Here's a close up of the children's...

 and the neutral blocks...

17 finished blocks!
We managed to finish 17 assorted blocks on the afternoon to add to our already considerable pile.  Hopefully we'll eventually make enough for 3 quilts to donate to those who are in need.  This quilt as you go method is very easy and great for using up scraps, and can be done by a group who are also busy drinking tea and having a good chat...
