April 2019 Door Prizes!

What a stack!

These beauties were the door prizes for April. It is called Peppered Cory for Studio E Fabrics. It is yard dyed shot cotton. If you look closely, the fabric has different shades in it. Stunning for a solid no? Yes!

April’s Block Lottery

Look at these awesome and fun X Plus Wonky blocks! They were fun to make and we love what everyone came up with for this challenge. 

April’s Raffle

The April Quilt meetings raffle was, of course, Easter Related. What a cute basket! It was full of goodies like fabric, patterns, a gorgeous orchid and Chocolate. Yum! Who knows what next months will be!

Riley Blake Designs Fabric Challenge

We received our Riley Blake Designs Fabric Challenge fabric and it is adorable! We can use 3 or all the pieces we were sent plus other RB fabrics. We can’t wait to see what every one comes up with! The finished pieces are due 5/31/19. Get sewing ladies!

Welcome to the 2019 Riley Blake Fabric Challenge!

This year for the first time, we’re collaborating with an MQG member, Christopher Thompson! We're featuring prints from his new Riley Blake basics collection, Blossom, and Christopher helped select this year’s color palette. Our featured fabrics include Shades Robin, 1/8" Stripe Denim*, Blossom Baby Pink, and Blossom on White Navy.

*A previous version of this page wrongly listed 1/8" Stripe Navy as the featured stripe. Submissions using either the Denim or Navy stripe will be accepted.

The deadline for submissions is May 31, 2019. The top ten finalists will be displayed at Garden of Quilts in Lehi, Utah, Sep. 12–14, 2019. Check out Riley Blake’s website for more information!

Special thank you to Riley Blake Designs for hosting another great challenge!
