Step 1
Grandmother's Cross Quilt BlockYou need to find some quilter friends or family members. Ask them if they would be interested participating in a quilt block of the month for charity. I have never met a quilter who doesn't jump at the chance to create blocks for any reason. Charity just makes it even more meaningful.

Step 2
Dinner for Four Quilt BlockSet the standards for the block. Let each person participating in the event know that each month they will be expected to make one 12" quilt block. The block designs can be any of their own choosing, but it must be a 12" block.

Step 3
Jericho Quilt BlockSet the colors. It makes the most interesting projects if the blocks ares somewhat uniform. You don;t have to specify particular fabric though. As an example, you could specify that the blocks should be created in any combination of brown, blues and reds. This leaves a wide range of options for the quilter, but still ensures the finished quilt will be somewhat uniform.

Step 4
Modified Ohio Star Quilt BlockEach month, one person should collect the finished blocks from each person involved. At the end of the year, the circle will have created at least 12 blocks per person. That is enough blocks to make several quilts. Get together and decide how you all want to arrange the blocks and into how many quilts at what size.

Step 5
Friendship Star QuiltHave a party and put the quilts together and donate them to charities such as Quilts For Kids, Warming Families, or many other charitable organizations that will make sure your precious gift is given to someone who needs it.
