Red Cross

The original plan was to make two Squirrel Cage blocks like the one I posted last Saturday; one for my mother and one for myself. They’re the first block in this year’s Block-of-the-Month class at Mormon Handicraft. I didn’t choose this class because I liked the finished product (pictured below). I chose it because it uses fabric from Maywood's Graceful Moments line, just like last fall’s Patchwork Party. The twelve Patchwork Party finishing kits will still be available for another few weeks, but I’m not in love with any of them. I’ll use the twelve blocks I made last fall and make at least twelve more from this year’s Mormon Handicraft kits. Then I’ll take the Saving Grace finishing kit and redesign it to fit a queen-size bed. There’s even a chance Heather will let me use it to replace the black-and-white quilt she sleeps under now. But only if I use a LOT more green.
