This is another #31dayblogchallenge post.
Edited to add: Blocks due January 20th, 2016. After that I’ll make do with what I have and get this project finished. Thanks!
I’ve got three more #getyourquiltywishesgranted envelopes ready to mail and four that are waiting for me to buy stamps. In light of all the giving going on I thought I’d take this opportunity to ask for more help finishing a quilt.
This quilt is for my childhood summer camp and has been a community project from the very beginning. Many artists have helped make the center turtle blocks as well as the tree blocks already.
What I’d love to have is more tree blocks for the final border of the turtles’ quilt. I still need 75 more to make it all the way. Will you help? There’s a block tutorial here for the easy 8″ x 11.5″ pieced blocks. If you’re sending some my way please email me for the address mrs.megan.null at gmail dot com.
Add two borders to your center square then cut it into fourths. 
Flip the sections around and you get this! The block was so fun and easy that I made two. 
My second project for the Stash Bee is a prize. Everyone in the entire Bee (not just my small group) who sent their blocks in on time got a chance to win. I volunteered to make the winner, Amanda, a 12″ crumbs pillow sham. Her favorite color is blue and she chose a star.
I made the template and traced it onto the fabric, which is larger than needed and cut down to size after appliqueing.
I have quite a large crumb-block stack to choose from! 
I audition blocks with the star template. This one looks good.
I pinned the crumb-block under the blue then zig-zagged twice around the star. The fabric inside is cut away revealing the crumbs. This method is called reverse applique.
