Block of the Month/Year

A great way to get involved in guild, is to participate in the Block of the Month (BOM) program. It's a great way to try out different techniques, work in a variety of colourways, learn about different modern designs, and maybe even win a few prizes!

But you might be wondering...

How does Block of the Month work?

  • Each month at the OTTMQG event we will show you the next BOM block. (We also post it on the blog and social media.) 
  • Go home make the block; make one, make two, make more…(by participating you are; learning a new skill, trying a new block, or stretching your creativity) 
  • If you like, take a picture of your block and share it on Social Media (i.e: Facebook, IG) using the suggested hashtags. We would love to see them and it encourages the rest of us. 
  • Bring your finished blocks to the next month's event and get a chance to win all the blocks made for each block you turn in.
  • While we are meeting on Zoom, blocks can be mailed or dropped off at select locations. Email Mary or VicePresidentOMQG@gmail.com for the addresses. The winner will receive their blocks by personal delivery or through the mail.

So WHY participate in the Block of the Month/Year program? 

There are many points of entry and levels of engagement guild members can choose to partake in. Some come to guild and don't know how to really get involved or get the most out of their membership.

This program is great for people who:
  • want to learn more about modern quilting.
  • (each month is a different technique or aspect of modern quilting). 
  • want to work on their sewing skills and learn new techniques they can test out on a block and then try again on their own quilts.
  • want to be a part of something bigger (making one, or two blocks that you or another member wins and then makes, is being part of a quilt, a community and so much more!) 
  • want to try something NEW! 
Find a Problem?- Please remember that this was made by a volunteer and a fellow guild member. Contact presidentomqg@gmail.com if you believe there is an error, and we will try and fix it and let everyone else know. But remember #Pleasebekind
