Looking at the ideas for name blocks, looks as though people are going to need lots of room. say 12 or 14 inch blocks. I just did an entire quilt of pieced bat blocks. Blocks were 14". Quilt finished at king size. |

• Do we want to make our individual blocks and simply post a picture of it? • Do we want to determine a standard size, make our blocks and send them to a collector who will then assemble them into a quilt(s)? • If a quilt is made . . . - who pays for the batting and backing? - would someone volunteer to do the quilting? - would someone like to donate the supplies? - would we each send in, say, $5.00 with our block to cover the above expenses? • If a quilt is made, what will become of it? - could we, as individuals, pay to have it displayed at our local shows? (That would include shipping and handling, insurance and show fee) - would we want to auction it and give the money to the QB? I think we have the potential to make history, or at least a magazine article. Perhaps our quilts would end up in the museum in Paducah. Who knows at this point? Feed some ideas related to the project as a whole. We can also bounce ideas pertaining to our individual blocks. I'm thinking big. I'd like to see the blocks made into a quilt. Many states have had the counties or parishes provide a block representing that county/parish, the blocks were assembled into a quilt, and hang in prominent places around the states. We can do this! If your screen name is nondescript, I think it would be fine to make your own little name crest to paint, print, embroider or applique onto your block. My opinion - what say ye others? |
Think it is a winner idea. Would love to sit and do something like that and be able to share it with everyone..
