I'm curious as to the size of each block, finished size, and the type of quilting you did. Did you stitch in the ditch, FMQ, or something else?
Your quilt is wonderful. I love scrappy quilts! The black you used defining each square makes a dramatic effect.

Why is this quilt going to Japan? Simple. I promised it to the coordinator a month ago after the Sunami happened and I'm following through with my commitment. There will always be tragedies. Here and in other countries. I'm just doing the best I can to keep up with them.

"Japan did help. The Japanese Foreign Ministry provided money to the American Red Cross. They also provided almost a $1 million in emergency supplies. Private and corporate donations was over $13 million. They always help other countries in disaster situations*."
And the link below was a story regarding other countries offers of help. And as the story explained our government was not to effective in accepting the help, which caused some of it to be recinded. Not surprising considering our own FEMA was inept too.
