Fortunately my group I sew with has several people who don't like to cut, and absolutely love to find enough blocks in our orphan block box to put together and make a quilt.
And we have several long armers who do the quilting of the soldier quilts.

Over the last seveal years I've made several hundred 6" crumb blocks. I find it very relaxing but another person has collected all the small scraps from our group to use as stuffing for pet beds for shelters. So now I'm doing strips.[/quote]


WHY WOULD YOUR GROUP USE THESE SCRAPS FOR PET BED STUFFING WHEN YOU WERE MAKING QUILTS FOR GIs?
WHICH SEEMS THAT IT WOULD BE SO MUCH MORE A GENEROUS AND GRACIOUS CONTRIBUTION TO A VERY WORTHY CAUSE TO CONTINUE WITH THE QUILTS.

I AM SURE THAT IF YOU REQUESTED, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET SOME CRUMBS FROM SOME OF OUR MEMBERS HERE SO THAT OUR GIs WOULD CONTINUE TO GET WARMTH FROM YOUR LABOR OF LOVE.
