I am not a quilter. I like patchwork and would like to make a quilt, but it hasn’t happened yet. When I read about Quilts for the Kims, I thought, OK, I’ll give it a go. I was deeply touched by their story and thought this would be one way for me to do something for them. Here’s what I came up with….
My square had to be yellow and I really struggled with this. I like yellow, but for whatever reason I don’t have much yellow fabric in my stash. I took a few trips to different fabric stores and realized why….there isn’t much cute yellow fabric out there. I bought a couple fat quarters and threw in a little pink and green to make it work. I am pretty happy with the results. It’s a basic log cabin design. My calculations were a bit off, so I added the striped strips to two sides to get to twelve inches. I was worried it would look off, but I actually like it. Thank goodness for happy accidents!
erin, i think it turned out perfectly. what a wonderful, touching gift for a family that experienced something so awful.
Your block is lovely – I like the other colors that you incorporated with the yellow. What a beautiful project this is.
I think it looks great! Good job 😉
Your block looks gorgeous, I really like the colour combo.

happy accident indeed! gorgeous block–and I love the bits of pink and green in there.
This block looks great! You did a wonderful job. g
This looks great! I think the additional colors really bring some life to the block.
How could you not be a quilter after that? You did a great job, looks good!
Wonderful job!!!! I love your fabrics Erin. Our greens will go nicely together I think.
That’s a very pretty block, Erin. It looks like you planned it that way! The stripe picks up all the other colors and looks great!
I love it and it’s just a wonderful sentiment and nice to be a part of something so special.
I am loving your blog and found it through another blogging friend. 🙂
SMILES!
