Usual Suspects


We met at Judi's today for lunch (hearty soup followed by cheese cake and raspberries all very delicious) and hand sewed and talked our heads off. Judi had received some blocks gifted by Nancy of http://nancynearphiladelphia.blogspot.com/ whom she knows personally as well as online and has added more and set them in a random yet balanced way.
As you can see from my sidebar  I (along with  many others) follow Nancy's blog closely. The Usual Suspects have been inspired  by her framed and sashed scrap blocks (September 25th post) and are planning to get together and make some of these for an  Alzheimers project in Scotland where the plan is to make 40" quilts to cover the international football pitch there and then auction them off to raise research funds and also distribute some to care homes.

Oh, WOW! They look GREAT! I'm so glad Judi took them off my hands. They'd be languishing in my cupboard for EVER.

What a neat way to use those blocks. It looks like it was planned from the start.
