Quilts for Boston!

Someone's blog that I follow, Maureen Cracknell Handmade, shared this great way to help those in the Boston community that have been directly affected by the marathon bombing and subsequent events.

The Boston Modern Quilt Guild is asking all quilters to make a block, or more, and send them in so that they can be made into quilts. Blocks must be in these colors: blue, yellow, gray and white. They must be 12.5 inches in height and whatever width you'd like.

They've asked everyone to post pictures of their blocks in their Flickr group: quiltsforboston

When your blocks are complete, mail them to:
Quilts for Boston
P. O. Box 79225

Below is a picture of the block I've already completed for this cause. I decided to make it extra special and make it a 3D block. The yellow half circle pieces and be moved left, right or straight up and down. It's my first 3D quilting attempt and I absolutely love how it turned out.
