Michigan Quilt

A Michigan Quilt

Chapter 6 is planning to make a Michigan quilt!  Every block will pertain to Michigan.  All members are welcome to make one (or more) quilt block(s). Each block is to be a 12 ½ inch square.  If your block uses background fabric, use white.  Please do not take your design to the very edge of the square as we will have to join all the blocks.  A 1/4 inch boarder is needed for seam allowances.  Fabric should be 100% cotton.

The blocks can be pieced, embroidered, appliquéd or any other quilting application you would like to use.  Please email Judy or Ruth with your block idea.  So far, we have been promised:

·         MICHIGAN

·         MICHIGAN STATE

·         Kellogg Cereal of Battle Creek

·         Mackinac Bridge block

Please bring your completed block to the Tri-Rally in Coldwater, MI (June 16-19, 2015). We will begin to sew the blocks together at the rally.  If you cannot attend the Tri-Rally, please mail your block to Judy Woodham, (522 Hampton Lake Drive, Essexville, MI 48732).

The quilt will be auctioned off at a future Great Lakes Chapter 6 rally.

Any questions please contact Judy Woodham at knjwoody@yahoo.com  or Ruth Wallace at ruthhomer@aol.com.

We look forward to seeing the blocks!
