Actually I handed each quilter a plastic bag with a piece of cardboard the same size as the finished block to store the finished block neatly and keep it from getting wrinkled, the cut pieces, seams marked on them, diagrams and instructions, bobbins with the right amounts of thread, needles, pins, a cheap little thimble and pair of folding scissors and my phone number in case of emergency! and there were a few. It was a fun project tho, and just about finished. Will photo and post the finished quilt - a Canadian condolence project for the families of soldiers lost in Afghanistan.
Wish I lived near you - what a great way to help others get started. Accurate cutting is the first step that I havent mastered quite yet - I have bought a GO so hopefully this will help lol
