Log Cabin Blocks for Japan

One of the NOVA Modern Quilt Guild's newest members, Kristy, asked us if we would help her former Minneapolis guild make log cabin blocks which will be made into quilts for families in Japan. Silly me forgot to take pictures but Kristy was able to take some and send them to me so I could post them on flickr and share them with you. All of these blocks were made from strips and squares in my scrap bins.

Finished quilts are being collected by Quilters Newsletter and being shipped to Patchwork Tsushin in Japan for distribution to people in need.

There is still time to make a quick log cabin block or two and send them to Sewtropolis! The deadline is April 8th so you could still send them today or at the latest tomorrow and they should get there in time.

Attn: Log Cabins for Japan

You can see some of the other blocks headed out to Minneapolis by going to the NOVA Modern Quilt Guild flickr page or the Log Cabins for Japan flickr page.

Happy Quilting!
