Welcome to our online Cancer is Sew Done virtual quilting bee where we fight cancer with fabric.

We are currently following the yearlong quilt along Block Party! and making enough of their blocks to produce several lap-sized quilts. The bee covers four types of blocks. Follow the instructions for the quilt along located under the BlockParty! Blocks tab at the top of the page. We are on our second block, the stripey circle.

You can make as many blocks as you would like using your own fabric. You can also make other blocks, not mentioned on the quilt along. We would all love to learn a new block, so be sure to share with us what you are working on. We even encourage you to submit assembled quilt tops or even finished quilts, crib and lap-sized preferred.

New Block Party! tutorials will be added about every three months, so you could make several kinds of blocks. Be sure to share your photos.

The block deadline in the top left corner of this page is a suggestion so that we can get enough blocks to start assembling the quilt tops. If you need more time, that's ok.

GROUPS

You may start your own group, but you will be in charge of coordinating the group's members. You can decide to supply the fabric or not, and if you want to collected the blocks and make the quilt tops for that group. It's your group, so you set the rules.
To start a group, go to the Groups tab and click add a group.

THE QUILTS

The quilts will be auctioned off and the proceeds will go to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. Prior to the auction, the first of which is tentatively set for fall 2010, there will be an online show where we will display all of your great work.

If you want to get on the list to assemble quilt tops, just send a note to Tracey Lamphere.

Thanks for joining in what we hope will be the largest charity quilting bee on the Web.
