Some call it block lotto, some may call it block-drawing luck, but we're calling ours a block party!
Guidelines:
-
Blocks submitted for the Block Party drawing must use good quality, 100% cotton fabric and quality matching thread. (Such as, no thin fabric that you can see through or white fabric sewn with navy thread.).
-
Blocks should measure the stated size. Please double check and square up your blocks prior to mailing. Any blocks not measuring within less than ¼” of the stated size will not be included in the drawing.
-
Do your best to make a block that anyone would be proud to include in their quilt. Remember to press your seams in the appropriate direction and trim any loose threads. Poorly constructed blocks will not be included in the drawing.
-
When possible, the hostess and/or participants will identify potential “trouble spots” for each block and offer suggestions to aid those who may still be in pursuit of that scant ¼” seam and to further help you insure your blocks meet the requirements for inclusion.
-
Please remember, this is a lotto, involving many different people with various skill levels. You may become the proud new owner of enough blocks to put together into a quilt, or you may only receive the chance to try a new pattern and practice your skills.

Most importantly – HAVE FUN!!!
Coming 2007!
