Regenerate Quilt Block
"As you're probably aware, Australia is suffering with a bushfire crisis. This type of natural disaster isn't uncommon, though the scale and ferocity in which the fires are burning is mind-blowing. As a crafty community, people all over the world have been busily making items for injured animals and donating quilts to distribute to people who have lost everything. A local quilt guild is collecting tree blocks to make quilts for those who've lost everything which was why I decided to create and share this block for anyone interested in making one for a charity, or just for themselves."
