By popular demand, we are going to have a second forum quilt this year. I'm so excited about all the interest in having a fall quilt in addition to the late winter/spring one we've been doing for several years. The time frame for this one will be sign up now (I'll start mailing fabric probably around the end of August) and blocks will be due on November 20th (so, everyone should have about two months to sew after receiving the fabric before their block needs to be mailed).
As usual, here's the details:
To each person who signs up, I will send a 12" square of fabric. Using that fabric, and any other fabrics you like, you will sew a quilt block of any pattern you desire, as long as it finishes at 12.5 inches square. Please wash and dry all fabrics you use (forum fabric has all ready been prewashed), but please do not use fabric softener.
Mail your block back to me in time to arrive in my mailbox by Nov. 20th (the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving) to be eligible for the drawing. Please make sure to put enough postage on it, and allow about two weeks for delivery (really really hoping USPS will get faster). For each block received by the deadline, I will enter the name of the member who created it into the drawing, and then draw a winner at random after the deadline of Nov. 20th. The winning name will be posted on this thread, so don't forget to check back to see if you might be the lucky winner!
The person whose name is drawn at random will receive all the blocks.
The winner is responsible for supplying (either purchase or use stash fabric) four yards of fabric for the next forum quilt and must mail me that fabric. Once the new fabric has been received, I will send the winner the blocks they won, plus an extra yard of the forum fabric to use in finishing their quilt.
Please sign up on this thread if you would like to join in on Forum Quilt #7. When you sign up please indicate if you would like to make 1 block or 2; if there is enough fabric I will send 2 pieces to each person who said they would like to make 2 blocks. Then, once you've signed up here, also message me your mailing info (name & address), even if you've participated in previous quilts. Sign-ups will run through the middle of September. I will mail out fabric beginning the end of August and ASAP to anyone who signs up in September.
