GOALS are to build our expertise
by: |
|
|
Increasing the difficulty of the blocks
as the year goes along and
Highlighting a particular skill or technique each month. |
|
|
|
|
General Guidelines & Commentary: |
|
|
Blocks will not be collected this year. Do
what you'd like with your blocks. Make a quilt and donate it
to one of our projects, give it away as a gift for Christmas
or another occasion or keep it for yourself. It is your choice. |
|
|
Each month bring your block(s) to the guild
meeting and add it to the display of blocks so we can all see
the eye candy. |
|
|
The monthly deadline will also help you complete
this project by the end of the year. |
|
|
The full sampler with consist of 9 blocks
given out December 2016 - August 2017. Instructions for the setting
and borders will also be provided in September 2017 through November
2017 to provide you time to finish your quilt before the end
of the year. |
|
|
A wall hanging, wheelchair size quilt or large
lap quilt can be made depending upon whether you make 1 or 2
of each month's blocks. |
|
|
Fabric requirements will be provided for each
block (if you are doing scrappy) and the yardage for the entire
quilts (if you want to use a collection). |
|
|
Instructions will be provided for 3"
and 9" finished blocks. Full quilts using the provided setting
will be:
Approximately 20" x 25" for 3" blocks - quite
challenging; consider hand piecing
45-1/2" x 45-1/2" for 9" blocks - wheelchair quilt
Approximately 57" x 72" for 2 of each 9" block
in an on-point setting - lap quilt |
|
|
Diagrams will be shown in gray tones. You
will need to pick your own color scheme. The gray tones will
give you an idea of the placement and constrast of fabrics. |
|
|
Have fun and enjoy the year's journey. |
