Add a Border Challenge 2009

A sealed envelope border challenge is currently being run by the club and is open to everyone. All you require to begin is a centre block (square or rectangle) the size and design is entirely up to you. Every two months an envelope detailing a new border in terms of size, style and special requirements will be drawn - simply add this new border to your centre block and by September next year you will be the owner of a unique quilt. The total size of the new borders will be 20", so if you start with a centre block of 12" * 12" you will end up with a quilt of 52" * 52".

October Envelopes revealed the following details:
Measurement 5", Style Applique, Special Requirements Include a star

December Envelopes revealed the following details:
Measurement 2", Style Seminole or Checked, Special Requirements Use some Black or Brown

Future envelopes will be drawn in February, April and June and their details will appear here when available.
