That doesn't sound fun at all. I'm the president of our guild and ours is only for those that want to do it. We have about 207 members and I think there are only 30 people participating in the BOM. There are no rules that you have to finish it by a specific date. You just get the pattern at the meeting and make it when you can. We do the same for a mystery quilt. We do a clue a month so that the day of putting it together everyone has the opportunity to get the top finished.
