2018 Birthday Exchange - 4" Kaleidoscope
  • We are trying something a little different this year!! 
  • Instead of each birthday girl receiving her favorite color, the birthday girl will receive the  favorite colors  of each giver to make scrappy quilts.
  • Each person will be gifting the birthday girl (8) large triangles and (4) small triangles. The birthday girl will then add 8 large and 4 small triangles of background fabric to your gift to complete 2 blocks. I will post pictures on the birthday tab ASAP.
  • If you choose to use 2 fabrics it will be 4 large of 1 fabric and 4 large/4 small of another fabric. 
  • Anyone want to swap more than one set to make a bigger quilt?
I'm still working on pictures for the birthday page.

=====================================
9/2019 ACWC Quilt show
  • I know 2019 is long time away but it's never to soon to take the first bite of the elephant!
  • We would like all of the quilts to finish at about 34" x 42".

  • Don't forget the hanging sleeve!
