Round Robin Quilt Challenge

Center Block -- Can be any size (a panel would work).  15", 16" or 20" blocks are also good sizes.

Borders -- Any width border is ok.  It just has to have the design technique of the month as the border or in the border.  Let your creativity go wild!

     February -- border featuring pinwheels.

     March -- border featuring sewn-in curved seams

Red, White and Blue Quilts

These Red, White and Blue Quilts will be going to the 

Louisiana War Veterans Home in Jackson, Louisiana.

March Meeting -- 3/15/18

Good evening ladies,

Really looking forward to our meeting Thursday, 3/15 at the library.  We have lots planned. We will be showing off our challenge round robin with the first  border.  We will also get the instructions for the next border.  Mynan will be teaching us a technique that we can use if we like.

Merlene and Karen will help everyone make a fun surprise for Easter. Everyone needs to bring 11 (that's right 11) wal-mart type plastic bags.  Mynan and I will try to bring some extra.

See you there.

Sharon
