- Sew alternating 4-patch blocks and 10” squares to reach the desired length and width.
- All quilts must be finished including backing, binding, and labeling. Unfinished quilts will not be accepted.

Other Suggestions
Community Quilt Workday Pattern (64” x 80”)
This quilt is very scrap friendly. It will use forty (40) – 8 ½ x 8 ½ in squares and one hundred sixty (160) – 4 ½ x 4 ½ inch squares. It is best if all the 8 ½” x 8 ½” squares are cut from the same fabric (about 2 ½ yards), but it is not required, see below. The 4 ½’ x 4 ½’ squares can be cut from a variety of different fabrics (a total of about 2 ½ yards or about 10 fat quarters.

Community Quilts Workday
Community Quilt Workday was dedicated to making twin quilts for Educate Tomorrow and made quilts for students transitioning out of the foster care system. If you missed it, you can still participate.
Gather up your fabrics that young adults (18 year old) may like and let's use them to make quilts. Let's try to bring a little joy to their lives because they have so little. Fabric suggestions: Graphic prints, solids, something that all gender identities would like.
We are going to follow a video quilt tutorial with the fabulous Jenny Doan of Missouri Star and make Dakota Sunrise quilts for the students of Educate Tomorrow. The quilt is shown in two colorways, and is suited for scraps or pre-cuts.

Here is a short list of the fabric requirements.

Please note that the instructions call for an outer border. We are omitting that to end up with a twin sized quilt, about 60 x 80 inches.
