This week I spotted two of our New Zealand quilts that are ready to donate to Ukrainian children in Germany. The kiwi block makes the first one quite recognisable! But I also recognise the borders because I assembled our quilt tops before I sent them over to Claudia in Germany.
Claudia received far more quilts and blocks than she ever could have imagined, and she has been donating quilts as quickly as she can. I'm not concerned that our tops from New Zealand are still working their way through the finishing stages. It's lovely to see that they have been quilted beautifully, and have matching binding applied by a volunteer.
I'll keep an eye out for more photos in case they pop up.

| My fabrics for the Swatch quilt |
I had a great weekend away on my work social weekend in Kapiti Coast. They weather is starting to get a bit cooler now and I'm starting to think about quilting again. I was inspired by the Ruby Star Society Spring sew along I saw on Instagram this week so I looked in my stash and cut blocks for the Swatch quilt:
I see that they have designed their blocks to fit across one width of the fabric, but I wanted my quilt to be larger than 48" x 60", so I've cut my blocks a bit bigger and added two extra rows.
I'll show you next week when I have it all sewn together.
Now it's time for the Peacock Party. Feel free to link up a recent blog post below:
Have fun sewing your quilt, I look forward to seeing it next week!
