So glad to hear there are so many blocks turning up at your place.... And love seeing all the blocks and quilt tops being made to support your worthy cause!Lorna McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911462547010295684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647398646594937688.post-28202205369492060702017-05-03T05:51:24.835-02:302017-05-03T05:51:24.835-02:30I wonder if quilters are so generous because they ...I wonder if quilters are so generous because they want to use up their fabric ... so they can justify their stashes or so they can buy more. I know I was thrilled to use my scraps. I don't often get around to using all those scraps I've cut up. And I don't often set myself a goal I find it doesn't get done. Thanks for giving me a push!Suzzy Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959303043200613525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647398646594937688.post-31638222849078165912017-05-02T20:36:21.129-02:302017-05-02T20:36:21.129-02:30I was thinking on this and I also think a part of ...I was thinking on this and I also think a part of this is that you only asked for people to send one block. People obviously wound up sending many, many more! But if you had asked for say....10 blocks each, it would have been more of a commitment and maybe some people would have been more intimidated and hesitated to participate. <br /><br />What I've also learned is that people WANT to help. They just don't know how or get overwhelmed. By giving a clear, simple directive - such as a quilt block - people happily jumped on board. It's something they knew how to do! Simple, straightforward. And by inviting people to participate, they feel a genuine ability to do something positive. :) <br /><br />....and quilters really are the best people!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624267060932896228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647398646594937688.post-50779430740164847562017-05-02T11:29:17.615-02:302017-05-02T11:29:17.615-02:30Fantastic pointers, Leanne.
