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 completed 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 February block was called Our House.  Our winners were Mary Fortin and Ina Stringfellow.  

In March, we had a Disappearing Hourglass block.  Each kit contained 4 precut squares, sufficient to complete the block. Please return all completed and uncompleted blocks and kits at the April meeting.

This month, April, we will have kits for a block that rethinks Sunbonnet Sue for a rainy day - it's called Sou'Wester Sue.  I hope you think this is as cute as I do!
