Post Subject: Tsunami relief quilting project
Hey everyone,
I have been reading about an international quilting project that will help raise funds for the tsunami relief efforts in south Asia. It is:

Basically you make one square for a quilt and send it to the coordinator, in Spain. You can make it out of anything fibery, it can be knitted or sewn or felted or otherwise made up. There are some pictures of finished squares already over here:

This totally seems like the kind of thing Get Crafty people would contribute to, so if it's already been posted here, forgive me.
Anyway, I'm going to contribute a square shortly. The deadline is February 15.

Here's a link to an art quilt that my mother-in-law made post-9/11:

(it's not a cheesy flag-draped thing either)
After her gently nagging me for a few years, I finally found a quilting project in one of her magazines today that I want to do- "single-image" quilting. Kind of like Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup cans in quilt form. :)
I don't think I have the patience for those incredible, multi-pieced art quilts.
