Block Party with Quiltmaker - Block Exchange

Make your own original quilt from blocks exchanged with fellow quilters at Block Party with Quiltmaker. Everyone who participates will make blocks in a Pacific Northwest color palette. You'll bring the blocks with you to the Block Party for the exchange. The quilt you make will hold great memories of this fun event!

• Make 9 identical blocks
• Use any block pattern from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volumes 1-6
  • Volumes 1-6 available for purchase here
• Use at least 3 of the colors shown
• Use any 100% cotton prints, solids, batiks or combination
• All blocks should finish at 12" (12.5" unfinished)
• Sign your name on the blocks at least 1" from the edge with a permanent, fabric-safe pen such as Micron Pigma
• Attach a note to your blocks indicating your name and which block pattern you used

A 9-block sampler setting pattern will be available at the event; use it or design your own original setting.

Be sure to indicate your participation on the registration form.

Have fun!
