QUILT CHALLENGE FOR 2015/2016 INTERIM BLOCK SUMMARY

Our Quilt Challenge this year involves making a quilt that includes all the blocks demonstrated each month at our Guild Meetings.  These quilts should be completed for the final meeting of this year, June 2016.  Feel free to make more than one of the blocks in order to create your quilt.

I thought that a summary would be appropriate now since we will not have a demonstration in December.

Here are the blocks by month thus far.

September Demo Block

1.  Flying Geese Blocks arranged as shown created using 1/2 square triangles made 8 at once.  Demonstrated by Sharon Quinton. 

October Demo Blocks

2.  Snowball Blocks created and demonstrated by Gail Purnell.  Gail also showed us what the block would look like with only two corners used.  You can see a block like this in the background of the picture below.

3.  1/2 square triangles demonstrated by Heidi Sharp.  An alternative method of creating 1/2 square triangles from strips sewn together.  Since it was only the 1/2 square triangle square demonstrated, you can create just about any  arrangement you prefer.  There are three examples, of so many available to you, shown below.  You may also consider using this square for a border.

November Demo Block

4.  The 10-minute block demonstrated by Sylvia Pankhurst.

 

Now you have a summary of all four blocks to be created for your challenge quilt.  Hopefully everyone is keeping up with these blocks.

 

HAPPY QUILTING!
