Over the course of the year, we’ll “assign” blocks and give parameters with specific block sizes and colors (if applicable). Those who want to participate should make as many of the assigned block as they wish and bring them to the meeting at which they’re due (March 19). Each finished block is worth one ticket. All of the tickets will be put into a drawing, and the person with the winning ticket wins all of the blocks! Depending on the number of blocks we receive, we may choose to split them among multiple people (for instance, if we have enough blocks to make two throw quilts, they’ll be split between two winners).
Block Parameters:
- Choose your favorite fabrics for the plus signs
- Please use white or low volume white background fabrics for the background fabrics
- The block should measure 12.5” x 12.5” which includes a ¼” seam allowance
- Instructions for making the block can be found at Instructions for Block
The more blocks you make, the more tickets you receive and therefore the more chances you have to win all of the blocks that have been contributed. Please consider participating to make this a fun and successful activity for our guild.
