Strength Quilt Block — Women’s Health & Wellness Quilt
“Make sure you don’t start seeing yourself through the eyes of those who don’t value you. Know your worth even if they don’t.”
Strength starts from surrounding yourself and listening to the right people.
“The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It’s about what you’re made of, not the circumstances.”
– Deanna Wall
“What anchors your strength? Are there several things?”
You can feel strength from anywhere! You can find strength standing on top a dirty pile of snow! Study your strength sources and what anchors you in life.
Use the Strength Live Well Live Strong Worksheets to review what strengthens you. Brainstorm what sustains you and power sources that you can tap into. Keep this list handy to tap into strength building skills that resonate for you.
“Stand strong when the wind blows and the waves crash.”
– Deanna Wall
Quietly take the time to reflect on what strengthens you. Talk to those you love and admire about what strengthens them. One of the best parts of the Live Well Live Strong Sew Along is focusing on each of these health & wellness topics one by one.
Knowing that I have already accomplished many difficult tricky things in life, sustains me that I can tackle other difficult tasks in my future. By keeping a journal, I can reflect back and remember small tender mercies that came my way during a trial that sustained me.
Our strength and empowerment comes from small acts and fibers intertwining together to form a strong rope.
A strong tree has deep roots that grow into a trunk that stabilizes the tree sometimes for centuries.
– Mother Teresa
“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”
The Strength Quilt Block is the 26th of 26 weeks on our Live Well Live Strong Quilt Sew Along! I designed the quilt block to appear as if it was fibers interweaving into a center of strength. Strength comes from a braided band of fibers.
Remember you can join in on the sew along anytime or make the Live Well Live Strong Quilt at your own pace.

Take time to review what you learned from making each quilt block and applying the 26 health & wellness topics in life. Use the Strength Worksheets to aid you in summarizing what you have learned from the quilt along. This is a five page worksheet set to download and reflect how you have grown and where you would like to continue to grow.
There is another summary sheet to jot down the things where you would like to continue to work on.
Customize your own personal strength challenge. Take tiny steps towards a good thing. Reward yourself with a quiet moment closing your eyes; feel good about yourself including your body & mind. Remember slow and steady wins the race and is sustainable.
Remember to always keep going. Keep moving forward. Have confidence that with time & healthy spaces you set healthy boundaries to thrive that is natural to your spirit.
