In the day quilt guild, Yellowstone Valley Quilt Guild, the block exchange is not a committment that is written in blood. Instead, if you want to do the block that a member presents that month, you take home the information, you do the block, and return the block at the next meeting. In this way, as the presenter, you do not know how many blocks you will get back in return. If the pattern you present is difficult, you may not get any blocks back. If the block is easy, you may get a bunch of blocks back. After you have completed 12 blocks for other people, you become the presenter. For some reason, I decided to start doing blocks. And, when I get to 12 blocks completed, I have no idea what I will present. But I keep doing blocks.
This month, I did a star block:
I also did the black and white strip set someone requested. The directions on this were just to do a strip set and the person would make up the pattern as they went along.
At the April night guild meeting, Quilt By Association, the activity was to create a snowball block. Then, a name was drawn out of the people that brought a block. The winner received a $25 gift card and all of the snowball blocks. A person at my table won the blocks but it was not me. I created this block for the activity:
Just keeping active in the guilds . . .
