Blustery, chilly weather outside made this a perfect day for sewing. Karleen and I enjoyed working on 9-patch quilt blocks together today. They will be used as part of a quilt block swap where they will be exchanged with blocks stitched by eighteen other participants from around the world. The simple 9-patch design is pretty and was quick to stitch. Packages of blocks have been arriving in my mailbox all month long. Once all the blocks arrive, all 378 of them will be sorted and organized into new sets and mailed back to each one who joined in this project. It's fun to think of the quilt blocks you made becoming a part of 20 other quilts. Each participant made one extra block which will become a quilt for charity. Although 20 coordinating quilts around the world is fun to think about, I couldn't help but imagine what one large quilt of 378 quilts might look like as well! Can you imagine? Thank you for visiting Gracious Hospitality. Please come back soon!
