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 can take a photo of the directions or access them on Facebook, in the newsletter, or here on the website page (limited printed copies will be available for participants.)
Kits of the fabrics to be used are available for free, 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 September block is the Pineapple. Each kit contains all of the orange and yellow fabrics. Participants add their own rich red fabric for the center and corners of the block.
