A popular class at the Fair is the "Block Challenge".
Kits were distributed with 2 fabrics that must be used.
We could add more fabrics, but must use some of each of the 2 fabrics.
The block was to depict the theme of next year's Fair .... "Carousels and Cowbells".
The entries were kept, and a quilt will be made for a raffle at next year's Fair.
Here's the kit fabrics ...

My block placed 1st! I had been so excited about the challenge, until I saw the fabric! That large print just through me for ideas and I put it off for quite awhile before I made the block. In the end, I just used it in the centre of my octagon representing the carousel. There was such a variety. A lot of appliques using the large print. Some did patterns with cow bells. A couple had made the cutest carousel horses, though without any connection to the cowbell part of the theme. This picture is from my design wall as I forgot to get a photo of it at the Fair along with all the others, for future ideas.
