This is the final block for the Grow-a-Quilt Challenge 2021. It has been fun and the participants have each created unique quilts to have or share.
Thanks to the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild – http://vancouvermodernquiltguild.ca/blog/round-robin-2021/ – for the inspiration in suggesting the block for each month.
To finish off our Grow a Quilt Challenge we are going to have a draw at the October meeting. If you have done at least three steps in the Grow a Quilt Challenge send Barb M or Marilyn C your name and we will enter you in the draw
Happy Quilting,
