When we started thinking about what to do for the new year, we wanted to create something that would be fun for our users, but we also wanted something that would make a difference in someone's life. So we decided on a contest with a twist. One of the blocks will go to the winner of the contest while the second block will go into a quilt which will be donated to Project Linus. This way, everyone who enters will be a winner. The contests will run for three months with each period having a seasonal theme - Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
Blocks can be any pattern, pieced or appliqued.
Hand or machine pieced, traditional patterns or original designs, blocks must reflect some aspect of the season for which they are entered. Entries may contain holiday, religious or any seasonal theme or fabric. Since the blocks will also be going to children, please, no buttons, charms, paints and so on. Also, please be sure that the block will be able to withstand multiple machine washings. The winner of each contest will be determined by vote.
