A recent work assignment took me to Vancouver Washington. While I was there I had the pleasure of attending part of a sewing day with the Portland/ Vancouver Chapter of Project Linus. Chapter Coordinator, Jodene Cook has some great ideas! This picture shows one of their group projects which they call "Mix it Up". A color scheme was chosen and participating volunteers make squares to exchange. Pieces are cut in the following sizes: 4 1/2" square, 2 1/2 x 4 1/2" rectangle and 2 1/2 x 6 1/2" rectangle. Each volunteer makes a number of blocks the same, then they are exchanged to make a more interesting quilt.
