This week I wanted to work on my Paper Chain quilt, inspired by Cathy at Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilts. Then I saw Marie's post about Quilts for Survivor, (you can see her post here.) and my plans made a detour.
I perused the organisation Quilts for Survivors' website and I was very inspired. The quilts are sent to survivors of the residential school system and other trauma. It is a Canadian organisation and has its roots in my own province of Ontario.
They accept donations of completed quilts, tops (48 X 64") or lap-size, blocks of 16.5", and supplies or monetary donations. They ask us to avoid any travel-related or school-related fabric and nothing religious.
So I had a good, hard look at my blocks and removed all the undesirable prints.
Have a great weekend.

I love those blocks, and have made a few myself when I have some two inch squares to use up. I'm happy to see how you're laying these out because I had forgotten the look I was going for, lol! That sounds like a wonderful organization to donate to, too!
Ce début de quilt est prometteur, je vais aller visiter le blog de Marie et le site de l'organisation pour en savoir plus.
Merci pour le partage !
What a special reason to make a quilt.... I hadn't heard of that work before...

Making donation quilts is a lovely thing to do. Good for the maker and the recipient too.
It's always a blessing for both the recipient(s) and the quilter when you find a worthy cause that touches your heart. This sounds like a wonderful organization to join. Blessings to you in this new journey.
That will make a lovely quilt for such a good cause.
Sounds like a worthwhile cause and your blocks are going to make a great quilt. xx
Great quilt for a good cause. Filled full of good energy. Stay safe and sew on !
I love your paper chain blocks! This will be an amazing quilt and it will be loved!
Great blocks, and congratulations on finding a good home for the thing you love to do.
SEW generous of you to fill that need for quilts, Chantal!
