2024 President’s Block
It’s time to say thank you to our president for all of her work in 2024. Traditionally, guild members make blocks that she has designated every year. This year Sharon has chosen very simple blocks, asking that you make 2, in opposite values (light/dark and dark/light). If you are in the Blockbuilders Bee it will look very familiar but it IS different.
Please choose solids or textures (read as solid) in rainbow colors from pairs such as pink/magenta or lavender/purple (no brown, black, or white). Refer to lower left photo for colors.
Refer to lower right photo for some sample blocks.
Cut a square or rectangle, no larger than 2 ½ inches cut size. Frame it with the opposite value. Trim the pieced block to 4 ½ inches. The inner shape should not slant and the 2 blocks can have different inner shapes. Please make sure inset center block is three-quarter inch away from outer block edge.
The square/rectangle can be centered or off-center.
Example: 1. Start with a purple rectangle and then frame it with lavender. 2. Then cut a square or rectangle from the lavender and frame it with the purple.
Please sign your blocks using small letters, along any edge, avoiding the quarter-inch seam allowance.
Turn in the completed blocks to Christy Andrews, Program Chair, or Cindy Dewstow, Rep at Large.
Try to keep them a secret. Let’s surprise Sharon with a bunch of beautiful blocks at the Holiday Party!
Respectfully,
Christy Andrews
