Crystal Quilters' Calendar - March 2018

Friday, March 2 - 11:30 am - Lunch at The Mint, 1608 Cole St, Enumclaw.
1:00 pm - General Guild Meeting at the Buckley Fire Station, 611 S. Division St., Buckley.  Please have your Traveling Robin boxes ready to swap at the meeting.

Friday, March 16 - 1:00 pm - Guild Workshop at the Buckley Fire Station, 611 S. Division St. Buckley.  Sharon will teach us the Disappearing 9-Patch Block.

Disappearing 9-Patch Workshop Supply List

Sewing machine & your regular sewing kit
Cutting mat, 6" x 12" ruler & rotary cutter
Fabrics you will need for one test block:
9 - 3.5-inch squares
4 squares for background, all the same solid or nearly – solid fabric
4 squares for the corners (all the same print or scrappy)
1 square for the center (contrasting from the background and the corners)

If you want to make more Disappearing 9 Patches than just the test block, you will need to bring more fabrics in any colors/combos you'd like.
2.5-inch cut squares make a 5.5 inch disappearing 9 Patch
3.5-inch cut squares will yield an 8.5-inch block
4.5-inch cut squares = 11.5-inch block
5-inch squares (charms) = 13-inch block.
I suggest starting with no larger than 4.5-inch squares for this workshop.
Any questions or concerns, call Sharon @ 360-889-0880.
