All members are encouraged to join the private Facebook members page for more information on guild activities and events.

Each month will add another border or row. 

April

Start with an orphan block and add a row to it that includes stripes. It can be one on just one side or two or a full on border of your choice.

May

Add a border or partial border that includes HSTs – Half-square triangle blocks. Put them together in whatever configuration pleases you. I look forward to seeing all your interpretations!

June

Add some words this month. Put them in the border or on your quilt top The words can be on the fabric or added as applique, do whatever you like. Other artists sign their work on the front..just sayin’ This is mine so far. I’ll be looking for fabric with the words already there.
