UPCOMING MODERN HERO QUILT PROJECTS

Our next Modern Day Hero quilt will be for Michelle Obama.  Why are we making a quilt for Michelle Obama? In a world that seems to get meaner by the day, she is the epitome of grace and class. She has endured some ugly insults recently, yet she remains a shining example of kindness and inspiration for us to be better humans.

For her quilt, we are making 6.5" (unfinished) string blocks, using floral fabrics. At this time, we have enough blocks to complete her quilt! Stay tuned for an announcement and call for blocks for our 6th Modern Day Hero of 2026. Thank you for your hard work and dedication on this project.

STATUS OF HERO QUILT FOR POPE LEO

Here is the status of the Modern Day Hero quilt we are making for Pope Leo.  It will be made of a combination of dove blocks and heart blocks.  Astrid Bordush of Ottawa, Canada, has generously permitted us to use her lovely dove quilt block to make this quilt! Check out her website: applesandbeavers.com and see images of this block below. Besides the doves, we asked for 3.5" (unfinished) little heart blocks using dark blue backgrounds, tone on tone, and red tone on tones for the hearts. Thank you to Diane Volk Harris of StashBandit for the directions below, shared with her permission. 

We have all the blocks we need for Pope Leo's quilt! Thank you so much!
