We have so many fun things planned for you all in 2020! This month we have a lot happening, so here is the one place to find all the details:
Wonky Stars Block Lotto (bring in March)
Wonky Stars - Tutorial
This 12" block is a fun, wonky star! They should come together quickly for a fun, sparkly quilt. Color theme for this block is Starry night: dark blue backgrounds and yellow stars. See this picture on the Quilts of a Feather Blog
Feel free to make other sizes of blocks- I'd recommend 3", 6" or 12" for ease in putting them together.
Scrap Challenge (Bring back in March)
While at guild, pick up a bag of assorted scraps. The challenge: Using no more than 1 additional yard of fabric, make something that's out of your normal comfort zone. It can be a small pouch, a bag, a mini quilt, a pillow- it's up to you. Bring it back in March to showcase your creation. Extra scraps can be added to the scrap jar after the challenge is complete.

Tonight, Kathy Bright shared with us the fun that the Dallas MQG had in 2019- and we look forward to rowing together! Sign up by the March meeting and bring your starter row to the April meeting along with your bag (distributed at the March meeting).
