Help AAQI have plenty of quilts to sale at Houston International Quilt Festival. The mini quilt can be as simple or as complicated as you want. Sometimes I just want to try a new block (but not make an entire quilt) and play with FMQing. Then I send it in to help raise money for research.

The challenge is on! Post your pix

how big is your quilt? do you know the amount of postage to send one that size?

that one looks to be about a 10" square and will probably cost around $2+ dollars to mail with the bulk.

The Square Telescope is 8.75 inch square. Click on second link I listed for rules for making your mini. :)

9 X 12 is the rule

i like the fast finish triangles {photos} as a hanging alternative!

9 X 12 is the max size. I also do the fast finish triangles on all my minis. Great technique

This was founded by Ami Simms. Her Mom had Alzheimer's. This is a GREAT cause!

you're right---that's what i meant--i'm lousy @ multi-tasking!

wow. I never knew about this and my grandma passed away from Alzheimer so I will be picking a quilt block that reminds me of her to send it! thank you so much!!

Also remember if you use a copyright pattern you need permission. Mine could not be sent in last year after spending months hand appliqueing and hand sewing because of this. I used a Pat Campbell block and she was not healthy enough at the time to provide written permission to use it.
