Last week, I received an email from the wonderful Kelly Lautenbach. She asked if I would be interested in helping her make a quilt that would be raffled off to benefit Japan. I immediately said yes. I had seen several of these groups starting up in the modern quilt world and was contemplating joining another group. But, knowing Kelly and several of the other participants, who are all amazing scrapbookers, as well as quilters (Lisa, Becca, and Susan), I knew this was the right fit for me.
Kelly's idea is a brilliant one. We are using Flea Market Fancy fabrics, which are out of print and very hard to find with the hope that using these coveted fabrics will bring a higher bid. We are each making two blocks for the quilt and Kelly will put the quilt together and donate it to {Modern} Relief - Japan. Money raised will be given to the Japan recovery efforts through Mercy Corps.
My two blocks are done and will be mailed off to Kelly tomorrow. I can't wait to see this quilt when it's done. :)
