Meet Isla. She just turned 2 and is the apple of her daddy's eye!!! (Her mommy thinks she is pretty special too!) Isla has Cystic Fibrosis. I have volunteered to head up a raffle quilt to help with the family's growing medical expenses. My friend Coleen has offered to do the quilting, and I am 
The block will measure 9.5 inches when you are done and can be hand or machine pieced. We are asking for a WHITE (not cream, and yes, white on white is acceptable) and a dark. The dark can be any color, as it will be scrappy. Please, no novelty prints, or seasonal prints. It is being made to help a child, but not for the child...she did receive a beautiful quilt for her birthday. The finished quilt will look something like this...
If you are willing to make a 9 patch block for Isla, please leave a comment here or email me at healingsense@comcast.net. If you are set to no reply you will have to email me. I will email you my address and you can get your block off to me in the next 2 weeks. The block will easily fit in a regular business size envelope and should not take extra postage. Feel free to share this on your own blog or link back here...that would be AWESOME! I am not sure 32 quilters even read here. 32 blocks is not a large amount if we do it one by one!Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!

Bren, I am supposed to be on a blog break, but just had to check out some of my friend's blogs. After seeing this, I had to come off the break long enough to tell you I will get a block done and sent to you next week. If you need more, I'll make more. Just let me know. Cute little girl. Talk to you later, friend.
Count me in and I posted this on my blog also.
Hello Bren,
I just posted about this on my blog. Hopefully you'll have many more quilters sign up. I'm going to wait until I have mine ready to mail before I request your address.

Hi Bren,
I don't quilt :( sorry! But I want you to know how wonderful a person you are to do this! My sisters both have/had children with Cystic Fibrosis. My oldest sister has a daughter (25) and she is doing well...thank God! My middle sister lost 2 of her 3 children with this terrible disease (they were 18 and 6). None of my 3 children have this...I don't know why some of us go through this and some don't.
Thank you sweet Bren!!!
Love Ya...Janel in NJ
how sweet! it is going to be a great quilt for a great cause. I came over from Crispy's blog. Let me know if you still need blocks.
I think I originally found your blog through Sue's blog and have been admiring your quilting ever since! I'd love to help if you still need blocks--is unbleached muslin white enough? (Miraculously, in all my fabric stash, I don't have anything white-white :P). Please let me know!
