Earlier this year, I was able to join in on a secret project of sorts; a collective bit of goodness for a friend who needed a global hug. We bundled parcels and sent them off knowing each little bundle would make someone's day a little brighter. The special project culminated in a group quilt. I feel lucky that I was able to participate. Now that the bundles and the quilt have arrived, you can pop on over to Kerry's to read all about it.
If you'd like to make a strawberry block, the pattern is available for sale at Sew Ichigo. If you're looking for a simple, yet effective introduction to paper piecing; this is a great place to start.
Beautiful piecing, Amy. The 'Made in France' and the matching of the dot, top left, are my favourite details. What a lovely gift for a friend experiencing a tough time.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very special gift indeed. The quilt is a beauty, full of individuality and the personality of the contributors and also cohesive and organic- it has been in use daily since! As for the stream of parcels- amazing xxx
ReplyDeleteI always love this block in all the fabrics I've seen it in. Someday!
