One of the committee members, Julie, provides the group with the pattern and instructions and whoever is interested can make as many blocks as they like and enter them into the raffle.
You get one draw for each block you enter so the more blocks you make, the more chances you have of winning all blocks made.
This block had particular appeal for me. It is called Disappearing Nine Patch and is relatively quick and easy to make. The theme for the block was to use conversational fabrics so that the blocks could be made into an I Spy quilt, a great favourite with young children.
I made 4 of this particular block and entered 2 in Linda's name and 2 in mine.
There were enough blocks made to divide the raffle into 2 draws and Linda won one of the draws.
She was gracious enough to let me have the blocks so that I could make them into an I Spy quilt for my grandson, Jackson, who I will be seeing in about 24 hours from the time of writing.
So, one block became one quilt:-
Backed with polar fleece, I hope it will ecome a favourite cuddle rug for Jackson and that there will be plenty of opportunity to play I Spy or any other game that may take his fancy.
