  Quilts For Others (QFOs) - QFO Packs

Our ‘production line’ is an on-going effort which produces completed quilts
 to send off to local charities and the Very Snuggly Quilt program

A QFO Pack contains blocks with their borders, batting, backing and binding, and a rough diagram of the quilt
If you would like a pack, please see Judy Alcock at a meeting

For those who liked (or missed) the Tips & Tricks session ‘Making Tubes for Making Quilts’, there is a 'Tube Tutorial' on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOWSp0mTTqE  

(Note: The tutor says to cut a 4¼” strip to join on to the pair of joined 2½” strips, but I use a 4½” strip.
You’ll find what works for you!)

Judy's hand-written notes give quantities of fabric, how many tubes to make and pressing plans for a 9-block / 36-square quilt pictured left.
