Every month, we’ll announce a quilt block for members to make for the following month’s guild meeting. You can make as many blocks as you want and for every block you make, you will be entered into a drawing for ALL THE BLOCKS! From there, winners can let their creativity fly with the block winnings.
For April 2026, in a celebration of spring all our blocks will feature flowers!
Here are the details for the April block:
Description: Create a block (or more) using a flower block pattern of your choice on a white background (print or solid). One entry to the lottery per block you make!
