First off, this idea was 100% my friend, Kim’s. She asked me a couple weeks ago if I would make a few quilt blocks for a quilt that she was making for Soldiers’ Angels, a group that organizes care, donations, blankets, snacks, get well cards, and a lot more for soldiers wounded in Afghanistan or Iraq, who are being treated at a base in Germany.
Kim sent me all the fabric squares and asked that I follow this tutorial to create wonky star blocks. Here’s one of the blocks I made, pictured above. I’m going to do as many blocks as I can with the fabric that she sent.
I just wanted to share because I think this is a great cause, and Kim is such a generous person. I think I would like to join and “adopt” a solider as well…I’ve just been thinking about something creative – I’ve got my thinking cap on.
Great idea….I have been contemplating donating a quilt to this organization for a while now.
Looks great & what a fantastic idea!
When I first saw the thumbnail picture for this on FB, I thought it was hanky-type fabric, but the little stars are just perfect!
Awesome idea!! We are a military family so what you are doing is much appreciated:)
