I don't want to be the quilt police, just thought it might be fun to put a quilt together. Some who are not able to come have expressed an interest in contributing. But in no way do I intend that making a quilt is a requirement for attending the open house!!!
I hope the group can come up with an idea for the type of quilt the wish to make if they choose to do so and pattern or block size.
So maybe we can get some activity on this thread with such a discussion. In case everyone doesn't have a chance to see it, maybe we should finalize plans at the meeting. I don't have much planned for the meeting. I thought we would enjoy show and tell and I'll try and have a few munchies available. Last time we did a fat quarter exchange. I thought it would be good to continue the "tradition". Any other ideas?
Hi Sparky:
I think I'm confused...at one point I thought I understood we'd all make a block for a quilt for the Quilts of Valor and then put everyone's blocks together for 1 quilt. I'm now wondering if it isn't each of us making individual quilts ? I'm good either way. I checked out the Quilts Of Valor site and they indicate minimum size for the quilts is 50 inchex x 60 inches but the IDEAL size they want are 54 inches by 67 inches. I'm not great at math but I think 12 inch blocks with sashings and binding would make the correct or close to IDEAL-sized quilt in a 3 block x 4 block arrangement. Am I close to what the idea is for the Quilt of Valor ?
THEY DO NOT WANT QEEN/KING SIZED QUILTS.
I'm excited about the open house. I just pm'd you, Sparky about what I can bring. Feathers
