The Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2012 has just begun. Registration is open to everyone from 15th November to 27th December 2011.
The idea is to create a Crazy Quilt block every month for 12 months and share them with everyone in the group if you want. People from all over the world are going to participate and it will be a lot of fun seeing everyone's different blocks.
I have never done a group project like this before but it has come at the right time for me. I am just finishing up two hand work projects, a crazy quilt and an applique quilt. The next quilt that I have in my mind to do is by machine so I will be without any hand work.
I always like to have some hand work for when I am watching TV or going to a sewing/friendship group. Now I will have my Crazy Quilt Journal blocks to sew. I am feeling quite excited by this because I haven't started a new project for over 12 months.
If you are interested in participating look at their website and read all about it.

The blocks can be any size from 6" x 6", so it shouldn't be too much work. Maybe you have never done any Crazy Quilting before, this could be the ideal time to give it a go.
Now I just have to decide what my theme will be. I am thinking Christmas, but I have also thought about doing some pale floaty lace type blocks...No, Christmas it is. You don't have to have a theme, that's just the way I do Crazy Quilting.
Bye for now,
Linda

Hi Linda,
I found you on the list of registrations for CQJP2012. I was clicking on all the Aussies to see if there was anyone I know, and so far there isn't, but I've found two more in Victoria - Karen in Ballarat and now you. I'm in Eltham - not far away!
This is also my first time in a group project, but I've been admiring them on other blogs for years, and decided that 2012 will be my year.
cheers,
Gina
I must go and have another look at the site. It would be good to have our own CQJP group.
