Welcome to Block Party!

Block party is one of the staples of the Capital Quilters Guild. Every month there is a block for you to make and return the following month. At the meeting there is a sample of the block, directions, and usually a swatch of one or more of the fabrics to be used to complete the block. Participants take a photo of the directions or access them on Facebook, in the newsletter, or on the website page (limited printed copies will be available for participants. Swatches of the fabrics are distributed, and participants sign up to make the block, which is then returned at the next monthly meeting. All participants who return the block the next month are entered into a drawing for the returned blocks. The winner can then use the blocks to complete a quilt or whatever else works for them. Many of these quilts are submitted to our charity quilt program, although this is not a requirement.

The 2023-24 theme for Block Party is international blocks; each month the block will be from a different country or continent. The monthly blocks are pieced. In addition, every other month there will be a Challenge Block, which will be either machine appliqued, or paper pieced. There will be limited space available for the Challenge Blocks, but each time there will be a prize for the winner.
