| "Naked" Block for "Hearts & Hands for Sendai" |
As I mentioned in a previous post, Crazy Quilting International (CQI) has put together a friendship quilt/fund-raising project to benefit the victims of the earthquake in Japan. Some of our members are from Japan and thankfully, they survived the quake.
I combined a selection of fancy fabrics and Japanese patterned cotton blend fabric and created this block using the flip and sew technique.
This was the first time I sewed with my new Brother Sewing Machine. It is a challenge getting used to the computerized stitching and I'm clumsy reaching for buttons and levers. I was so used to my old machine and my brain needs to be retrained! This is similar to driving a car for several years and then getting a new one and having to figure out how to operate the "bells and whistles".
I hope to start decorating and embellishing my block over the next several days and will post my progress.
It's not too late for quilters to join the project!
