Block of the Month

General Instructions: We will be making a variety of 9" finished blocks using red, black and white fabrics. You can use the red, black and white colors in any combination. Bring your completed blocks back to the next RQG monthly meeting for a chance to win all of the blocks. You can also purchase chances to win the completed quilt blocks.

July, 2008 (due in August) - Whirling Geese, courtesy of McCalls. Also, be sure to check out the no waste method for making your Flying Geese components used in the Whirling Geese block pattern.

August, 2008 (due in September) - Flower block. You should have received a pattern at the August meeting. The blocks should be constructed on a 9 1/2" square of brown or pink background fabric. The stacked flower shapes should be alternating colors of pink and chocolate and the leaves should be green.

September - On Saturday, September 20, the program will be Cupcake Pincushions by Joanne Kamper. Please plan to bring the following items, if you would like to participate in the program.

  • 6" square for frosting part
  • fabric yo-yo, flower or other decoration for top
  • scissors, needle and thread
