Welcome to Block Party!

Happy 2026!

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 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 or whatever else works for them.  Many of these quilts are submitted to our charity quilt program, although this is not a requirement.

Our December blocks were called Holiday Candles.  Our winners were Fredda Bishop and Katie Greenwood.  

In January a scrap busting challenge.  There were no kits, but participants drew for which blocks to make using 12.5" x 2.5" scrap strips from their own stashes.  The twist is that the fabrics must be sewn in order by value.  We can't wait to see what you come up with!

This month, February, we will have kits for Our House - each kit will contain the background, door, window, and chimney fabrics. Add your own house, roof and corner fabrics.  NOTE - the roof/corner fabric should be a lighter shade of the house fabric.
