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 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.

Thank you to the many of you who turned in completed Fidget Blocks for the Comfort Quilt Program.  

Our October Fall themed blocks were called Apple Pie - a pieced "Pie" block and a Paper Pieced "Apple" block.  We had 26 completed blocks turned in, and our winners were Anette Paraskevas and Noi Bland.  There are still 10 blocks to be handed in, so please be sure that you return them at the December meeting, and they will be passed to Annette and Noi.

In December, we have a holiday themed offering.  The quilt is called Holiday Candles, and is made up of 2 blocks. Don't forget to drop by the Block Party table to pick up a kit or maybe two!
