Charity Blocks

I had a little bit of time tonight to do some sewing...my only time for sewing all week.  I grabbed some fabrics from my stash and made a couple of charity quilt blocks for our monthly Elgin Piecemakers chemo quilts.

For this block, I had to use pink, white and green.  I found this fun flower fabric and decided to frame it with some solids.

I saw this pattern in the most recent issue of Quiltmaker magazine. Using the colours navy and taupe, I made this block.

I got home the other night and found a crocus in my garden.  It was never planted in the spot where it was blooming so I think it must have been transplanted by a squirrel.

It gives me hope that Spring will be here soon, despite the fact that we woke up to a few inches of snow one morning this past week.
