Our guild had block of the month. You got a block pattern for a dime. They told you what colors to make it. You made it and brought it into the next meeting. Everone that made a block got their name put in the darwing. The winner recieved all the blocks. Well, If you won half of the blocks weren't usable. The weren't square, not large enough, lumpy, and some months someone would win 20 blocks and the next month maybe only 4 people made blocks. So that month they got theirs back and 3 others. This year you but a pattern for a dime, make the block bring it in to show and keep it. At the end of the year you will have a good stat for a quilt and they are all the way you like them.
