Community Quilts
by Olga Leon
The program for the March meeting will feature completing quilt tops from fabric and pattern kits that will be passed out. Quilts ready for tying will also be available. Please see the Programs News page for details.
Community Quilts Riddle Block -Revealed February 2019The inspiration for the Community Quilts Riddle Block revealed in February 2019 was a quilt that someone posted on one of the groups I belong to in Facebook. I instantly fell in love. I broke down the quilt, figured out the block and graphed it out. Eventually, someone posted that the block appears in Kim Brackett’s (Author) book Scrap-Basket Bounty: 16 Single-Block Quilts That Make Your Scraps.
There were more than twenty members that participated in making blocks. The raffled stack was won by Nancy Barnes. The blocks gathered for a community quilt were assembled at the meeting and the “riddle reveal” was shared with the members in attendance. See pictures below of graphed out blocks and two different arrangements of the gathered blocks.
