On Saturday, August 2, 2008, a group of ladies from Eastern Minnesota and West Central Wisconsin gathered to quilt for charity. This is a quilt we created that day. It was inspired from a quilt block called Michigan from the Quilters Cache website. We altered the size of the black triangles to use the smaller triangle trimmed off of the larger square to make the smaller triangle on some of the blocks. The result is a look of a thread spool at the intersection of the black triangles. We now call this design the WI/MN block.
All of our quilts are donated to charity. Some went to the storm victims in Missouri in 2006, some to victims of Hurricane Katrina during their recovery when a group from our church traveled there in 2007, area OB/GYN units, Twin Cities (St. Paul/Minneapolis) Childrens Hospitals, transitional housing for victims of abuse, homes for people in transition, fund raisers for schools, churches and libraries and many other worthwhile causes.
