So, About That Block...

[sakon76]

The Orange County Quilt Guild met last night.

Normally, there's about half a dozen people who do the Block of the Month, with somewhere in the range of 20-25 blocks being turned in.

Last night? My pumpkin block had sixteen participants turn in a total of seventy-one blocks.

Wah. Tea. Ef.

I think the November block (Bear's Paw, in browns) will not be so popular. But I'm thinking part of the popularity was (1) seasonality, and (2) varying levels of difficulty. Therefore, maybe a tree block for December, with different construction techniques and maybe some decoration techniques...?

(Also, my guildmates made and gave me 9" four-patches for a baby quilt for Jazzy. I've got 43 of them plus a label and a fat quarter. In a 6x7 setting, that's 54"x63"... without any sashings or borders. I think this will be a baby-to-teenager quilt, the way Squiddle's more recent quilts have been.)

I can see why! I agree, it's fun, seasonal, and can be simple or fancied up however, lots of scope to get creative ^_^
