I'm taking blocks that people send (or completed quilt tops, etc.) and making quilts for those who loose everything due to disasters.
This started with the Greensburg, KS tornado when I knew a family that lost everything (she's a quilter and I work with her husband), and has expanded to other tornadoes and disasters - such as the two quilt tops I sent to astitchintime because she knew someone who lost everything in the Lake Tahoe fires.
So that's how this contest started. We need more blocks/tops to make quilts.
You know how it hurts when you are so far away that you can't do anything to help someone out? Well, this way, you can send a hug and prayers in a quilt!

You have got to be kidding. I am certain I want to see a picture of that quilt top.
I had a partially finished top I sent The colors were so horrendous it gave me a migraine. Jake picked them out. Dayglo orange, purple, Lime green.. pure hideousness, but a kid will LOVE it. I am sure NOTHING will go with those~
