March AFQ Meeting

For our March meeting of the Ashtabula Friendly Quilters Holly again showed us how to make quick pieced quilt blocks using scraps from our stash.  

**To obtain your free copy of the block each pattern that Holly demonstrates you must be at the meeting!  Any extras may be available at the next meeting at the door, but once they are gone they are gone!

**If you make some of these blocks to practice and donate them, Lois has volunteered to piece together comfort quilts from the donated blocks.  The color scheme for donated blocks will be red, white, and blue to ensure everyone's blocks match when sewn together.  Valerie has also offered to long arm quilt these comfort quilts to help taken the burden off and get these quilts made!


 



Here are a few pictures of show and tell in case you missed it...
