Block of the Month

Do you like to try a new quilt blocks without committing to an entire project with that block? Then block-of-the-month is for you!

At each month's guild meeting a "block of the month" will be featured. You can see a completed sample block, and instructions for making it, including colour requirements, will be provided. Members can then make this block and bring it to the next meeting for a chance to win the returned blocks. To increase your chances of winning, make more than one block - there's one entry in the draw for each returned block. If there are a very large number of blocks, there could be 2 draws with 2 winners each taking home half of the blocks.

The block photos and instructions are posted here shortly after each meeting. So if you miss a guild meeting, you can still participate.
