Fat quarter, quilt book or magazine raffle, BOM . The guild I used to belong to did these and they were fun. The BOM they provided a basic pattern and color scheme. Sometimes they sold a center or starter square for 25 cents. So all the blocks would have a common center. They also made up name tag kits and sold them. Work on a charity quilt to donate to a local shelter or for project linus. Have each person sign up to teach a mini class on the technique they enjoy doing. One person could teach paper piecing, one could do hand applique, or any other technique. You could start a round robin or row robin quilt. Work in small groups so it won't take forever to complete them. Even a mini one is fun to do. Just have fun. I have been trying to get a quilting/sewing group started at our church. Can't seem to find a day that works well for everyone. Guess I am going to have to pick a day and go with it & hope someone shows up.
