Vice President's Challenge Jan 2025

 

January's Block and Colours






I remember my grandmother having melamine dishes in ALL of the pastel colours and disliking the "brown" ones.



What other colours come to mind when you think of the 50's?  





I couldn't resist adding "food" fabric to my block with all the talk about kitchens and dishes 🍽🍹🍧😋.














***Due to virtual meetings Jan-Mar, to arrange fabric pickup, contact Sam at VicePresidentOMQG@gmail.com.

Remember these rules?

  1. You can add other colours to the blocks, as long as the colour prompts are used as well.
  2. Use as much or as little of the colour prompts as you like.
  3. Use the best match from your stash, no pressure to use the exact Kona fabric or colours.

Square in a Square Block Instructions

Quilting Jetgirl on making 23 (!!!) different sizes of Square in a Square blocks. (She even made a Friendship Star "the month before" just like we did!)


Teresa Downunder shows how to make a Square in a Square 4 different ways. (This includes "no fear" (my words, not Teresa's) English paper piecing and foundation paper piecing for those who haven't tried these methods before.)
