About 65 roses quilt for charity

A quilt block drive for a Cystic Fibrosis - 65 Roses quilt (65 roses day raises awareness of Cystic Fibrosis).

Make a square to add to a 65 roses quilt that will be comprised of 65 blocks and auctioned at the CF Australia annual gala auction event in Canberra in September 2010.

I would love quilters and embroiderers to make a block and send to me - all the details and the pattern can be downloaded from THIS PDF - the pdf also has 2 rose applique designs and 3 rose embroidery designs - however you can use your own design as well.

Its a simple block, comprised of 4xfive inch charm squares - one of which you will embroider/applique a rose design onto, the other three squares can be comprised of vintage/found/floral bits of lovely fabric - you can make one block or more and send to me to be made up into the 65 roses quilt.

Please contact me with any questions [whipup at gmail.com] - and I will be keeping whipup posted on progress on this project.

PS. If you want to take this idea and run with it - using this pattern to make a community quilt for your local CF foundation then please do - would love if it if you told me about your project - but there is no obligation to do so ... watch this space for a flickr group for this project in the next few days.
