Another 4-H Club Achievement Quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
This time around the Project was "Magic Blocks". the members selected two or three pieces of fabric from a collection and turned in a block. Sadly not too many actually "magic-ed" them. Two leaders and two other adults made a block each as well. I didn't make a block because I'd had this fabric for about 10 years and was quite sick of it.
I added bordered the blocks to make them all 12 1/2" unfinished and arranged them. Another leader sewed them together and returned the top to me. I selected and attached the outer border then took it to be long- armed. She quilted it with swirls and clovers. I made the binding and returned it to the other leader who then finished the quilt.
We used exactly what the members turned in - except for one block which had the seams twisted. I undid the seams only enough to flip so the block would lie flat.
Betcha can't figure out which were done by adults and which by my members (ages 10-17)!

My Grandkids are in 4-H and I have helped one make a quilt already. 4-H is such a good learning club for kids to be in.
Your quilt turned out really good.

This turned out well,for so many members making it. It is a very interesting piece. I am curious to know, what is the all green block above the bottom white block? Also what is the black block on the right edge middle called?

Toogie, black block looks like an Arrowhead Block to me... Don't know about the other one you asked about.

Lovely quilt!

Toogie that first block you mentioned was probably a miscut from the initial block. You never know what you will get sometimes.... but we make it work. And that's half the fun and encourages the members to enjoy the process of sewing and quilting. Quilting is very forgiving when you fire the quilt police.

You just gave me a great idea! My machine has the ability to do a label and it never dawned on me to make it the way you did.
Thank you!
