Blocks Needed for Grieving Family

I've never been good at asking for help....

but I'm going to on this one.

I know the heart of quilters....

I am going to put together quilts for Tory, Chris' Mom

his two brothers and one for the

soldier who was his best friend

and who fought right alongside Chris...

and was 

there...

when he took his last breath.

I'm going to do the quilts in a muted red, white and blue

theme.

And I thought 'Star' blocks would be so appropriate

in this situation.

I would so appreciate any of you who

would like to help me in this endeavor.

I need 8" blocks

(Finished Size of Block to be 8 1/2")

and when I say muted...

the best way to describe it...

is kind of like the Minnick and Simpson fabrics

that are always designed for Moda.

(They don't have to be Minnick and Simpson though!!) 

We would be so grateful for any!

I would so appreciate it too,

if any of you would like to copy this post on your blog.

I'm hoping Tory will help me sew them all together

to help her in her grieving.

I'm also going to try to get a local group

together to help out as well,

when all of the blocks are received.

If at all possible we need the blocks by end of October.

You may send them to:

The Scrappy Appleyard

3218 Knobview Drive

Nashville, TN 37214

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You all will never know how much your comments, prayers

and thoughts have helped us to get through this tragedy.

May God bless you all...
