Bushfire Quilt Project

I’m sure everyone read that this summer (our winter) Australia was plagued with some of the countries worst bush fires ever.  Many areas hit were residential and with shifting winds and little warning, many people lost everything.  I can’t imagine.  I ran across a flickr group, Bushfire Quilt Project, where someone in Australia was asking for blocks.  Or really, just A block.  Sent to her APO address, and she and friends were willing to put together quilts for these families, no small task.  But making a few blocks?  Relatively easy.  I sent a quick email out to my coworker quilters (thanks Nola and Shawn!) and made a few myself (in addition to a binding strip) and tomorrow I will be sending almost enough for one quilt to be made.
