They (hopefully) bring the finished block to the next meeting. Someone takes the finished blocks, applies sashing and a border. Someone else quilts it, and someone binds and attaches a label - - or one person takes the 12 blocks and finishes it. This way we for sure get twelve veterans' quilts done each year. many members also make veterans quilts.
Another thing we do is to make potholders for food pantry christmas baskets. We demo one style of potholder each month, and at our show we give a potholder to each attendee who pays for a ticket. Leftover potholders go to the food pantry.
