Due to the overwhelming response to the Fabric of the Nation, we have more than surpassed our original target of 3000 blocks for an 8-panel tapestry. While we have increased the number of display panels on Sewing Day to 12 (double-sided), this still does not cover ALL the patchwork blocks submitted. Contributors whose blocks are not within the display panels on Sewing Day, pls do not be unduly worried as rest assured, we will sew them onto additional panels after the event. Likewise, we're still in the process of loading the pictures of your patchwork blocks onto the web. Thank you so much for your warm support to the Fabric of the Nation project!
