We are still working our way through a very large donation of quilt tops and blocks received last year, nearing the end now, but it has been an interesting process finishing work started by others, and picking it up at various stages of construction ... and very generous of the donor to give us so much to work with and make ready for others in our community.

| The 3D effect of this tumbling blocks variation is very marked ... |
 |
| ... and contrasted to the bucolic print on the back. The quilt has been finished by Dawn. |
 |
| Dawn also finished this bed sized quilt, using a donated panel print and adding borders. |
 |
| Community quilts are a great opportunity to try making something outside your regular range, as Helen found with this improv beauty started in a ‘Logs and Ladders’ workshop with Brenda Gael Smith |
 |
| Our ‘Green Hearts for Christchurch’ quilt is on its way to New Zealand. |
 |
| More than 100 postage stamp blocks were donated! Dawn and Lisa shared them out and amalgamated them into enough blocks for two quilts with sashing from the community stash. This one is Lisa's version - they both have timeless appeal. |
 |
| The disappearing four-patch block is a favourite of Lynette's - here she's used a variety of pinks for the backgrounds, dark floral feature fabrics, and a bright lolly pink backing! |
