Welcome to Block Party!

Block party is one of the staples of the Capital Quilters Guild.  Every month there is at least one block for you to make and return the following month.

At the meeting there is a sample of the block, directions, and sign-up sheets.  Participants can take a photo of the directions or access them here on the website, on Facebook, or through links in the newsletter.

Kits of the fabrics to be used are available for free, and participants sign up to make the block, which is then returned at the next monthly meeting.  All participants who return the block the next month are entered into a drawing for the returned blocks.  The winner can then use the blocks to complete a quilt, wallhanging, table-runner, or whatever else works for them.  Many of these quilts are submitted to our charity quilt program, although this is not a requirement.

Our January blocks were called Woven Scraps.  Our winners were Maria Kleinman and Joyce Bubar.  

In February, we had a block called Our House.  Each kit contained the Background fabric and the Door/Window/Chimney fabric.  Participants are adding their own house and roof fabrics.  Please return all completed and uncompleted blocks and kits at the March meeting.

This month, March, we will have kits for Disappearing Hourglass - each kit will contain both fabrics needed.  First you make an Hourglass block, and then you cut it apart, rearrange it, and sew the pieces back together to make a gorgeous star block.  I hope you enjoy this one!
