Well, I am finally ready to reveal it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I started making these compassion quilts, I never dreamed it would grow as quickly as it has. I was expecting to make about a half dozen quilts every few months. But we are now averaging about 40 quilts a month!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I have decided to go ahead and become official and turn this into a not-for profit organization. It is going to take some time and will be so much work. But I am ready with the help of others to do this. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The hardest first step was coming up with a name.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am going with.....<b>Many Hands and Many Hearts</b>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(I already bought the domain, but it is not published yet.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijNI6NFDjm0_iVw_rzi1yyYPJhlT9aFETB5VjmtkGcI3sHPBKj6K-zVw-C4E9ozEkisx3Sp3al2XyPbeZRwNxRvLFnvv9NFCJrzGl7iFAm3p4sX581AdxcuUppCBVwxX-ogSEeTpKmHUA8jU4DySKozuCBNX-Eb9FDaAXQSfPk9NI6kerGgY0zqAHef7mZ/s4032/A6D44965-AFC5-4105-95CE-0AA90CFC22CF.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijNI6NFDjm0_iVw_rzi1yyYPJhlT9aFETB5VjmtkGcI3sHPBKj6K-zVw-C4E9ozEkisx3Sp3al2XyPbeZRwNxRvLFnvv9NFCJrzGl7iFAm3p4sX581AdxcuUppCBVwxX-ogSEeTpKmHUA8jU4DySKozuCBNX-Eb9FDaAXQSfPk9NI6kerGgY0zqAHef7mZ/w480-h640/A6D44965-AFC5-4105-95CE-0AA90CFC22CF.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I didn't want a post with no photos, so I thought sharing this quilt with you was perfect. I raided a friend's scraps and found a whole bunch of batik squares already cut to 6". </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Very quickly, a quilt top was made.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So back to Many Hands and Many Hearts. I finally realized that we had reached a point where it really made sense to become official. Even though you have been so generous with your block making and fabric donations, there still are a lot of costs associated with making this many quilts a month. So having a team (board) to help me fundraise is becoming really necessary. Financially, I cannot sustain this all by myself much longer. Plus, I fully expect things to continue to grow. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Soon I hope to have the website up and some labels printed with the logo for the quilts. I just need to find someone to help me with all that.

I received a bunch of lovely teal/blue blocks, so I wanted to put them all together in one quilt. There were four blocks that were pretty much identical, so I put them in the center. I then added that lovely inner border. I originally tried to layout the blocs in some half circles around the edge but decided I really liked them just all going one way. I didn't want another square quilt so I added more of the border print on just the top and the bottom.<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvPsFqoo7AIqZMVTdsWN0Yo-0xDwJ5mL7LdGoHmczQz-ytu8P-upzcXopLvyKPDKPxBRY32FKrapA-5Y2o_0seHlejEG-NYadb0Gqbxl4iTY_9nAeP7HeectR7_BpnwjkgN5jE7z5I-hizZmKVgXCVukqiygQIVlXWGacX_dNpao_ZfmQktixx7j2Nd3gd/s4032/F93380C8-A472-4CDC-BCD1-2F476C8C713B.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvPsFqoo7AIqZMVTdsWN0Yo-0xDwJ5mL7LdGoHmczQz-ytu8P-upzcXopLvyKPDKPxBRY32FKrapA-5Y2o_0seHlejEG-NYadb0Gqbxl4iTY_9nAeP7HeectR7_BpnwjkgN5jE7z5I-hizZmKVgXCVukqiygQIVlXWGacX_dNpao_ZfmQktixx7j2Nd3gd/w480-h640/F93380C8-A472-4CDC-BCD1-2F476C8C713B.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Kathie sent me the perfect backing for this one.

I gave it lots of pets!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Speaking of the bindings - Deana asked me if I could use 4 yards of a millennium fabric. It is a sparkly blue with "2000" printed on it. I didn't want to use it for a backing or on a quilt top so I cut it all up into 2.5" strips and I have been using it for binding. Very few people have even notified what it is. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Every once in a while, I have a clever idea!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I think we should end up with somewhere between 15 and 20 log cabin quilts.

I fell in love with her bindings - she does them all by machine and uses a fun decorative stitch when she is stitching down the front.

I also still have a bunch of my own orphan blocks that need attention.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One of the most amazing finds in the bag were the 9 appliqued Hawaiian blocks that were salvaged. One or two blocks need a bit more applique, but I can easily do that. Then I just need to find some nice sashing and sew it up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As I went through all these blocks, I was inspired by a few. I have plans for future block drives that some of these may go with and I have a number of donated panels that some of these blocks may complement. Now that I have the blocks organized, I can lay my hands on them quickly when I am ready for them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So many quilts....so little time!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">*********************************************</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="font-size: 16px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-align: left;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;">It is now your turn to share what you are making with scraps.

I had a few more finished but I just didn’t have the time today to get them photographed. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I needed one more Veteran quilt for a hospital delivery next week. We finally delivered all the ones made during the last Veteran Block drive. For a quick finish, I grabbed a charm pack that Karen sent and added some sashing and some 9 patches from some donated solid fabric. I really liked how this one turned out.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I don’t usually add borders, but I felt this quilt needed one. I was able to use up a nice blue print that was left over from a previous quilt. It finished off this quilt beautifully.</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHvRiBwVA7VcDzvKl3GKIxCnX3i7F5ApgqwqAvpRMd2uh5DrzIVHlfnuOB11MbkWk3sBObl_6Kmn5tX11vy_lz3qeObO64d53mrj1eafF2A0XnYKJZ4wje7trPqt0AHg8Oo_EZKalVgyBirtt89Hv9r9zxwFuAF8NxYy_MmYvzmzYcBq70RS2dLMGYYEnY/s4032/4F1F73E4-689F-46FC-A6D3-1D1A02C78B80.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHvRiBwVA7VcDzvKl3GKIxCnX3i7F5ApgqwqAvpRMd2uh5DrzIVHlfnuOB11MbkWk3sBObl_6Kmn5tX11vy_lz3qeObO64d53mrj1eafF2A0XnYKJZ4wje7trPqt0AHg8Oo_EZKalVgyBirtt89Hv9r9zxwFuAF8NxYy_MmYvzmzYcBq70RS2dLMGYYEnY/w480-h640/4F1F73E4-689F-46FC-A6D3-1D1A02C78B80.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">The charm pack was red, white and blue but I wanted to make this quilt a bit more patriotic.
