July 4th fun for a good cause
 

I gave up on fireworks several years ago. Too hot and too much traffic. So I had breakfast with a friend and we recovered her dining room chairs and I (finally) made a big pressing board. I already had the batting and fabric and she had the staple gun. Yay! After my friend went home I started fiddling around, wanting to do something but not anything too complicated. Well, there is a movement to create 15 1/2" blocks for flood victims in Calgary. You can get the information here:

So I made 4 "slabs" as described on that website but also, if you are familiar with the book "Sunday Morning Quilts" the method is described there, as well. It is a fun way to go through a bunch of scraps and a little different take on string quilt blocks. These are the four I made.

Spend a little time on Flickr searching "Just One Slab" and you can find some awesome blocks and quilts made with this method.

Looks like fun. You have put together some great color combinations.

nicely done... and for a great cause

I like that you stayed with the main color in each block... nice going

Love the color combos. Great job :)

Great job!!!!!!

I love those blocks

very nice like the colors too!!!!!

That's what they requested - that you can do whatever color but stay in the same family for each block.

Looking good.
