Artists Against Cancer is a non-profit organization to help those who work in the arts in their battles against cancer. One of AMQG's most awesome-ist members is currently kicking cancer's ass and we want to help!
This Sunday from 5 to 8 p.m. at Thunderbird Coffee on Manor Road there will be a silent auction of incredible art, including this quilt. All proceeds raised will be given to help our quilting friend Cindy C in her battle with cancer.
This is going to be a great event! If you are in the area on Sunday, please stop by. For a preview of all the wonderful art being donated, click here!
Quilt stats:
- A large twin quilt - 66x88 inches
- Constructed in solid fabrics only
- 100% cotton fabric used on the front, back, batting, and binding
- Inspiration: 'a quilt to be' from the LA Modern Quilt Guild flickr page
A big shout out to all the AMQG members who donated one or more wonderful blocks! Cindy B, Heather G (aka Modern Day Quilts), Denise, Diana, Meghan (aka Scrambled Megs), Mitzi, Alison (aka Sew and Tell Quilts), Jessica (aka this is a splendid calm), Robin, Claire, Khanh, and Adrienne -- I couldn't have done this without you! Everyone made beautiful blocks. Not to mention that Jessica and Robin donated their time and expertise to long arm this quilt. Thanks again!

Love the tag you added. I am totally in love with this quilt! Thanks so much for putting this together. I think you are the 2011 Queen of Charity Quilts!
That's the first quilt label I've ever done! I like it too... I may be adding them to more quilts in the future. :)
I am totally in love with this quilt too. Dave has been warned: we may be bringing this quilt home on Sunday after the auction!
The whole thing is amazing. Aren't labels like that a super easy way to make it feel done?
I was at work during the auction. How'd it turn out?
The auction was busy -- lots of people. We raised $120 for Cindy and another AMQG member bought the quilt.
I really like the label too. It does make the quilt feel "finished". I'm going to start doing this for all of my future quilts I think.
