The ‘lucky dip’ quilt challenge will run for 6 months. The quilt is made up of 9 blocks (at least 10’ in size) with 12 various ‘random actions’ resulting in a small quilt. The 12 quilt actions (3 per month) will be published in the June, July, August and September newsletters. The first steps are to choose fabrics and make the initial blocks.

Don’t miss out. Book your place now!
At the May, June, Winter Warmer and August meetings, the random actions will be drawn from the ‘lucky dip’ to determine the 3 random actions.
Look out for the June newsletter for the first set of 3 actions and instructions on how to carry out the actions.
Take a picture of the initial 9 blocks before you start and pictures of changes you make each month. Along the way blocks will not be ‘square’ and the method may be ‘messy’. Your interpretation of the random actions makes your quilt unique.
Each quilt will be different. Trust your quilting instincts. Have fun and enjoy the patchwork process.
The final part of the challenge will be to sew it all together, possibly with a border or two and quilt as desired.
