This little doll is Katy: dancer, swimmer, artist, kindergartner and grandaughter of Perry. Katy also has Cystic Fibrosis. There is a raffle going on right now to raise money for research to find a cure for this presently incurable disease. Your contribution would be so helpful to Katy and children like her. Please go to Perry's website for links to Katy's story and the raffle. The quilt being raffled was made by Cindy and is truly awesome.
Several people have inquired where they can get an ironing board cover with personality, like the one Lisa gave me. Lisa provided me with this link: http://www.homealamode.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=11 So go on, get one for yourself!
A few of you have said that you would be interested in working along with me on a two color quilt. I will post more about that on Monday and we will see what we can get going! As you can see, I have a couple of them in mind....
Those blue and white log cabin blocks are so pretty.

I love the log cabins - the blue is so restful. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Oh those blue log cabins. How can I forget what a lovely combination that is!
And my very warm hugs and love to Katy. I hope everyone gets a moment to make a donation. Even 5.00 is more than they had to fight this disease yesterday.
Imagine if we put all the donations together!

I notice I didn't finish my comment last time. I was going to say I would be interested in the 2 colour quilt. The red one looks a scary for a beginner like me but the blue blocks aren't so scary.

I should be doing this challenge...I have a pink/white collection, a red/white collection and a pale blue/white collection ..... BUT I would need more fabric to add to them !

Thank you Lisa for you blog on Katy. Every bit helps and there is still time to possibly win that quilt. Drawing is Friday the 9th. I am going to have to pass on the 2 oolor quilt right now....since I can't see I am getting further and further behind. But I will keep up with your progress! I love the blue log cabins, and the red is right up my alley!

I really like the large centers on the log cabin blocks.
I like 2 color quilts too as long as I can use a large variety of fabrics.
