Announcing!
Ladies and Gentlemen - Start your Quilt Squares!
|
|
This will be Ratbone's FIFTH Quilt Project! Please help us make this the Best Quilt Ever!!
We're leaving the choice of colors up to You - our generous, creative Quilters. Please use 100% Cotton fabric, and please don't use "Novelty Prints" or Fabric Paints - except along Borders or in Small Areas of your Quilt Square.
For Helpful Tips on making a Quilt Square using the Applique Method, please click here. You may also use Embroidery, Cross-Stitch, or most any other Method - as long as it won't interfere with the Quilter's ability to Quilt around the assembled squares.
Your Quilt Square should measure at least 13 by 13 inches, but no more than 15 by 15 inches (so it can be finished at 12 by 12 inches by our Quilter). If you have extra material when you're finished, please send it along for our Quilter to use in the Final Design.
Please complete your Quilt Squares by July 31, 2009. We will then piece the Quilt together and send it to the Quilter to be Finished.
Completed Quilt Squares should be mailed to: Ratbone Rescues P.O. Box 57246 Jacksonville, FL 32241-7246
Any questions you have may be referred to either of our two Quilt Wranglers; Dorothy Lewis or Caroline Wood.
