Tokyo International Quilt Festival 2020 - NHK Partnership Quilts

Each Spring the theme for the next year's partnership quilts is announced. Individual blocks are sent by July 31st and many volunteers sort them into quilts of 154 blocks each.  Then they are sewn together and quilted.  At the Quilt Festival, you can buy chances to win the quilt, with the money raised going to charity. This year 8,721 blocks were received. The theme was my favorite animal.  


Here are photos of the quilts containing blocks my friends made. 













I'm sorry I didn't get the full quilt




This is my block. Yes, the panda is my favorite.




I took these photos because I would like to try to make a small mola project and these are ideas.   





I thought my friend Rhoda would enjoy seeing these.

I'd forgotten about the "favourite animal" blocks. Didn't they all turn into fantastic quilts!

What a wonderful concept! I loved seeing all the quilts. I found your panda block! My favorite quilt of them all, too.

Well done to your friends, they were all lovely, but the seal really caught my eye.
