Postcrossing quilt 4

I still do Postcrossing, I send postcards and I receive postcards, sometimes with a piece of fabric  for my postcrossing quilt;

Early this summer i made some blocks, as colorful as usual with fabric from all over the world....









And there are more pieces of fabric waiting. Yesterday I received some beautiful pieces from Scotland and some from Finland!

Do you remember that i told you about postcrossing? I started sending cards about one year ago and i already received more than 200 postcards from all over the world.
Sometimes in an envelope with a piece of fabric for my postcrossing quilt;
i made 5 new scrappy logcabin blocks this week.






Sometimes there is a beautiful unexpected gift in the envelope. Cvete from Bulgaria, sent me a piece of crochet made by her grandmother!
Thank you so much Cvete.

Do you know Postcrossing

Do you know Postcrossing? The main idea is : send a postcard and receive a postcard back from a random person in the world.
Maybe you say why should i do that....
Because , there are lots of people who like to receive real mail.The element of surprise of receiving postcards from different places in the world (many of which you probably have never heard of) can turn your mailbox into a box of surprises and who wouldn't like that?

I am member since 4 months and I received already 45 postcards from all over the world (Indonesia, Belarus, Japon, Ireland, Taiwan, Russia, Germany , Finland and more).
I have sent 48 postcards. In my profile I asked for a pice of fabric to make a quilt with fabric from all over the world. I asked for fabric special for their country or some used fabric or just a piece. I received old handkerchieves; a pice from a wardrobe from someone's mother, a piece from a scarf of someone's father, a large piece from the curtains which someone's mother made years ago.....

This week i started to make some log-cabin blocks with the fabric.



The center birds are from New Zealand



The center insects are from Germany.


The center panel is from Russia, it was an old handkerchief....
