Friendship Quilt

Tammy and I have been friends since the 6th grade. I was thrilled to hear she was coming to Houston last month to finish a quilt with a friend. I got to go and visit with them and was impressed with what they had done. Tammy's friend got 12 mutual friends (once lived in the same town, many have moved) and each took a month or season to do a block for everyone else in the group. By the end, eveyone had enough blocks from friends to complete a quilt. Each picked how they wanted it put together and what finishing colors to use, then Jan invited them all to Houston to machine quilt their finished project. This is a picture of Tammy's completed quilt.
Wasn't that a great idea. Many who participated are not 'quilters' but it was an easy enough project that all could participate and feel accomplished.
