I recently attended a quilt camp at a YMCA camp about 45 minutes from where I live. It was wonderful even if the beds were hard as rocks and I didn't sleep more than a few hours from Thursday Morning to Saturday evening. There were classes you could take or just bring your own projects to work on. Everyone brought pillowcases they made for the 1 Million Pillowcase challenge. The pillow cases were demonstrated at the camp and if you did not bring one or more, you could make them there. The pillowcases went to the pediatric unit of the local cancer center. We were provided with a 12" block pattern and were asked to make one or more blocks using that pattern. The only stipulation was to use off white for the lights. For every block you brought, you put your name in a jar for a drawing. 5 people went home with at least 12 blocks all of the same pattern. I'm looking forward to going back next year.
