 What is the Challenge?

“Create a 12” square quilt block with at least one full circle incorporated into the design. You can stitch it, appliqué it, or use fabrics or embellishments with circle designs. Employ circles as part of an abstract, geometrical, or symmetrical design. Or create a pictorial circle motif like the sun, beach balls, rings, the moon, buttons, manhole covers, or paint can lids―anything that is circular in design. The choice is yours! Make your block, take a nice clear photo, and click here to enter.”  (as found on the blog; Quilting Daily).

Quilts for kids Mission Statement

Transforming fabrics into patchwork quilts that comfort children with life-threatening illnesses and children of abuse.

Spend some time in their web page and visit their store. I found the sight interesting and of all the foundations I donate to I think this is one of the most worthwhile.
