About a month ago I started this project and shared it in
this blog post.
I finally got the quilt loaded on the frame. I tried to fit in a little bit of time each evening to quilt, but that only happened a couple nights. I finished it up over the weekend.
I meandered in the dark colored blocks with brown and did this alternating block treatment in with cream in the light colored blocks.
I used Superior Thread So Fine for the top thread and a matching Omni in the bobbin.
Once it was done, I had to take a picture of the backing. I always match my top and bobbin threads. That means I can sometimes get an interesting effect on the back of the quilt.
Bound and ready for a trip to California.
Directions to make the Perkiomen Valley Block can be found on the Ventura Modern Quilt Guild's blog.

Super Buzzy - this site has great info with many more links and has a list of those that have already contributed
Have you made a block or two to help out people touched by hurricanes, floods, fires, or other natural disasters in the last twelve months? Do you have a project that is close to your heart? I would love to hear about it.
