Sisters of the world Quilt

In september Lizzie,  of  'a house in the country' asked us a favor. Her friend,Sue, that she know for more than 30 years is ill, severely ill.  Sue has made many, many quilts in her life. Lizzie asked us to send her 'orphan' blocks that we've made but not yet used. She wanted to put them together  and give the quilt to her friend Sue, to keep her warm and cosy.
And to show her how much we as women and quilters care for our sisters all around the world.

Lizzie received 160 blocks from so many countries.......  She did such a GREAT job and I feel honored to take part of this quilt.
Here is Lizzie with the quilt:

She even could not use all the blocks, those were send to n organization that makes quilts for children in New Zealand, who are victimes of the earthquakes .
