July's Meeting Cancelled

Due to the number of members who are on vacation (yea) or sick (boo) our July 16th meeting is cancelled.

Think of this as a chance to get caught up with your Tula Pink QAL blocks.  We won't be assigning blocks for July.

It's also an opportunity to finish up your Michael Miller Challenge quilts.  Remember you have to post them to The Modern Quilt Guild Site to be entered.  Here are some of our members' creations:

Top, L-R:  Mary, Denise, Helen E.           Bottom, L-R:  Eileen, Carolyn, Kat

I'm so biased - I think they're all great!

I hope to see you at our next Sew In on Saturday July 19th!

April 2014 Queen Bee - Diane

For my quilt I chose the Stacked Squares Quilt  from Moda Bakeshop.

Block:  This is a really quick Courthouse Steps block.  Don't square up or cut up as directed in the above pattern ~ I'll do that.

Pieces: Final block is 18" square.  Please use the same fabric when making the middle or outer ring.

center:   10" square

middle ring:   2 strips  2.5" x 10"

                   2 strips  2.5" x 14"

outer ring:     2 strips  2.5" x 14"

                   2 strips  2.5" x 18"

Iron: all seams open.

Fabrics:  Any combination of solids, patterns, tone on tones, and batiks.  Multi colored patterns are great to use.  The two to three fabrics you choose don't necessarily have to match. 

Colors -  violet (not blue purple)
               green
               grey
               white
               aqua (not true blues) 

Please no red, yellow, orange, true blue or blue purple.  If there are small amounts of these colors in a pattern be sure the fabric "reads" as one of the colors to use.  If in doubt, please leave it out.

Thanks ~ I'm really looking forward to putting this quilt together!
