TOKYO INTERNATIONAL QUILT FESTIVAL 2017
The theme for next year's Festival is "Gardening".
This my contribution to the Festival's Partnership Quilt.
Decided on something simple due to time constraints.
It's a single block (15x15cm) version of what I did for Quilty365.
The flower is hand-appliqued.
Two butterflies at the top right, stamped using fabric inkpad.

This is just one of hundreds of blocks being sent to organisers of
the Tokyo International Quilt Festival by patchwork enthusiasts
mainly from Japan but also around the world.
Volunteers will join and quilt these blocks by hand
to form Partnership Quilts.

Last year, over 8,000 blocks were received and made into 74 quilts.
