Siblings Together And the Bee a Brit Stingy Bee

The Bee a Brit Stingy Bee is making a group quilt for Siblings Together - a charity which provides holiday camps for children who are in care and separated from their siblings!  At the end of camp they get to keep their quilt - though last year several needed persuading that they could take them home!  (I tear up every time I think of that!)

We are making a Scrappy Trip in boyish colours of red, white, blue and grey and the blocks have been rolling in to me and although made from different stashes they go together so well!  I will be putting it together and quilting it - what fun!   I have the best bit I think!

Blocks provided by Helen, Sheila, Janet, Catherine, Colette & Karen

I am thinking of a layout of 25 blocks in a 5x5 grid so we are more than halfway there.   This isn't the final layout of course but every time I put them together I think that can't possibly work - then I take a photo and it does seem to!  

I can see why this quilt design is such a popular one - it seems to work in any and every colour scheme.

Other Siblings Together quilts are to be seen in the Flickr Group here!   There are other Scrappy Trips and lots more.

I am still mulling over the design for one I will be making from this fabric kindly donated by Liz.  If you have any suggestions - I am all ears!  Well not literally you understand!
