Scrappy Quilt Project

At our last workshop some of us started making scrappy blocks for our final quilt of 2009. I have been experimenting with how to make the instruction sheets small enough so that I don't clog up your email inbox with large files so here is my attempt.
This second page has a lot of blank space to be filled when the quilt is finished but it also gives a few more ideas for scrappy blocks. There are even more ideas if you follow the links to Scrappy Quilts and Typing Paper Block on this blog.

The idea is that everyone makes either 6 1/2" or 12 1/2" scrappy blocks of any design and sends them in. We can then arrange them all as per usual and see the magic that can happen when such a random idea is put into action.

Let's give it a try. Looking forward to seeing all your scrappy blocks.

September Workshop

We held an extra workshop to introduce a few new members to patchwork and quilting and to give some of our other members time out to do something different. The first activity was our 'show and tell'. Robyn showed us her latest quilt. No picture is available yet.

Leonie caught up on her applique block for our next project while Evelyn, Linda, Betty and Mary completed some scrappy blocks using foundation piecing techniques.

Mary, our newest member finished her first ever block. Well done Mary!

Elaine and Joy also came for a quick visit.
