For the next several months, a quilt block and color family will be presented at the monthly guild meeting. Anyone wishing to participate can make one or more blocks which they will bring to the following meeting. The blocks are collected and sorted into groups of six. Each 6-block-set will make one Cuddle Quilt. Guild members can then take the block-sets home to add sashing and borders to make a quilt top. Tops are collected at the next meeting for other members to quilt, and then bind. Members can choose to do one or multiple steps in the quiltmaking process. Points (chances to win in a drawing at the end of the Quest) are awarded for making blocks, tops, quilting and binding.
This is a great opportunity to dig into the fabric stash or scrap box (we all have one) and make a quilt or two... or five... for a great cause. Everyone can participate by choosing the step or steps they most enjoy (piecing, sewing the top, quilting, binding). The first block pattern issued is a 9-patch. The block size is 12-inch (finished) using primary colors (red, blue, or yellow). Let the Quest begin!
