Traveling Basket Quilt - Waiting to be hand quilted


In January 2009, the "top" of the  Traveling Basket Quilt for the United States has been completed and is being quilted at the Material Warehouse Quilt Room in Akron, Pennsylvania.

The Quilt Pattern is available through Love, Joy, Piece as the designer is Mountain Rose Quilt Company of Calgary, Alberta.  The quilt uses fabrics from Congo, Africa, donated by former MCC Workers, Art and Lois and the hand died blues and gold are donated by Cherrywood Fabrics of Brainerd, Minnesota.  The pattern was donated by Lorna of Farm Quilt Haus, Staples, Minnesota, and Marlys, MCC's Love, Joy, Piece editor did the piecing.

As Basket Blocks are received from around the world, blocks and/or quilts will be available for MCC Relief Sales around the United States and Canada.
