Appliqued Angel Quilt Block for Tribute Quilt Being Made for Connecticut Victims (Sandy Hook)

I made my first block for the tribute quilt that a friend, Sally has started for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy that happened in Connecticut this month.  

I designed this appliqued angel quilt block myself and the finished size of the block is 12 1/2 inches as Sally has requested for the quilt she is making to donate to the school.  She is still looking for more blocks if you are able and interested in making one or more yourself...hint hint hint :-)  If she were to receive any extra angels they will be made into wall hangings that will also be donated to the school.  Here is a link to Sally's Quilting Corner blog so you can contact her if you have any questions.  I hope everyone is ready for the New Year, and remember that one action of kindness can spread like wildfire, let's always challenge ourselves to treat people the way they deserve to be treated and that even includes believing in ourselves.  :-)

PS... If you would like to see more of the angel appliqued quilt blocks I have completed click on this link.  =) 

PPS...This time I used Heat n Bond Lite to make these angels instead of the Lite Steam-A-Seam2 like I have used in the past to applique with.  I love that the Heat n Bond was one layer of paper, no more fooling around with which side of the paper to trace on, there was only one side.  Made it a nice no brainer.  I need that sometimes, you know?  =)

    1. Thank you Ellen for the kind words! I have to give full credit to Sally for thinking it up. I am just one of the lucky ones getting to be a part in the making of it. The quilting community is a wonderful one to be in, that is one thing I can say for sure. Best wishes to you and yours in the New Year! =)

    1. Hi Mary! Thanks so much for your response to this post. I let Sally know you posted a question for her. It is my understanding from her blog post here: http://www.sallysquiltingcorner.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-tribute-to-our-angels.html it is really your choice and discretion. Any help is appreciated =)

    1. Hi Richard & Tanya, thanks so much for leaving a comment and the compliment. I couldn't agree more about holding my own children a little longer and little tighter lately. I feel it is why I am so motivated to help get these quilt blocks together. I am trying my best to add a personal touch to each one that represents each child as an individual as well. I can not imagine and really don't want to think of how I would be dealing with the situation myself if I had lost one of my own children in such a tragic way. In any way for that matter. Well, thank you again for leaving a comment, I will be posting more pictures soon. I am almost finished block #9. Other blocks are coming from other quilters across the states! :-)
