Not this particular one no. This is the first time for a quilt block contest as opposed to a quilt contest.
I am sure there will be lots of variety and all skill levels so don't worry just jump right in and join us!!

Its too early for my brain to be working!!!

Interesting to think about. I am not a quilter of big quilts. But if someone wanted to volunteer........

The only concern I have is one of the objections was there were too many restrictions. So I would have to think about this. It is a possibility.

So if we can't donate the blocks, here's a follow up contest - show everyone what yu did with your block! It could be part of a whole quilt, a tablerunner, a bag....I am already contemplating what to do with mine after I enter it.

My block is ready.... do I have to wait until June 1 to send in the photos? Also, are we supposed to put where we got the pattern from?

You do have to wait until June 1st to send your pictures. You only have to give credit if it isn't your design.
