Today, I sent off the first quilt of this project to the first organization! It’s hard for me to believe how this project has taken off. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Also - sorry I’m not as great at updating Bluesky! I am but one person 😅

Finished up one last crumb quilt block for the Trans Pride Quilt Project. Now I just need to embroider my name on them, and get them in the mail.

I thought I was going to crank out so many of these this summer, but I only just finally finished my 1st block for the Trans Pride Quilt Project last night
@transpridequilt.bsky.social
A quilt block made up of 2 pairs of half triangles in opposite corners, with strips of crumb quilting in the middle. Primarily made up of pink, white, and shades of blue. With some fabric prints also containing red, black, grey, and yellow. There are florals, stripes, sea shells, spider webs, and control panel patterns.

It’s been a busy workweek for me, but I’m hoping to have a video done this weekend that shows another option for a quilt block - no sewing machine required. :)

Made a quilt block last night in around 20-30 minutes! This is a simple, three stripe block. This is how easy it is to participate in the project 🩷 I’ll be making more videos in the future that have ideas for someone without a sewing machine.

The Trans Pride Quilt Project is, at this moment, just an idea. I would like to see if people are interested in something like this.
Trans Pride Quilt Project A collaborative effort to create fabric squares to assemble into quilts that will then be donated to organizations that serve trans folks.
