Depending on how many are at the retreat, a certain number of the fat quarters are used a prizes for games and the remainder are used in a drawing and the winner gets all the fat quarters.

The blocks are also used as a prize...but depending on the number of people in the retreat, they are divided up into 12 or 20 or whatever and again used in a drawing. The same with the fabric squares.

All names are in one 'hat' and once drawn they are discarded so that no one person wins more than one 'prize'

I know you can do a search online for quilt games, quilting games, quilt retreat games or whatever and find lots of sites with lots of ideas.
