Block Lottery
Each month we will hand out patterns and pieces of fabric for a specific piece of the pattern to interested participants. You will take the pattern and fabric home to make the block and return it the following month. Only the people who participate, your name will go into a draw, and someone will go home that night with all the blocks and the fabric for any unmade blocks. We will be running the block lottery for:
-

EMQG Quilt Con Two Colour Challenge
In the spirit of the mothership - QuiltCon 2027 Challenges of the Windham Fabrics, and American Patchwork & Quilting Pick-A-Color challenge, we have come up with our own. We used a random color selector tool and have chosen Apple Green and Soft Orange as our 2 color quilt challenge. We have 2 paint chips to visualize these these colors. They are Behr Paint chips: Spring Grass (P350-4) GP2-2 and Cheese Puff (P240-5) OP7-3. We will have a few of these for you at the September meeting, they are available at Home Depot or any other paint supplier that sells Behr Paints.
Quilters may choose fabrics that read Apple Green and Soft Orange, we will allow colors that are lighter and darker than the 2 colors, however they must read as a single hue of apple green or soft orange. We will also allow the options of adding Black and white, or Cream and Grey, or Grey and White, and Black and cream. No combined colour prints, the fabric must read single hue.
Quilters may use whatever fabric color they want on the back. Minimum size is 24” square, to a maximum perimeter of 280”. Bring your completed quilt to the June meeting – There will be prizes!
