President's Block
due by August meeting

Choose fabric from your stash to create a masterpiece for our 2008 NMQA President.
  • Block size: 7.5" (finished), 8" (unfinished). Please make block oversized, so it can be trimmed down.
  • Floral theme: make a flower block or a bouquet of flowers.
  • Background fabric: very light cream color.
  • Design fabrics: very light shades of pink and green.
  • Technique: your choice of appliqué, pieced, machine embroidered or a combination. If appliqué, please center the design, so the block can be trimmed.
