Underground Railroad Quilt Challenge: After admiring JK Williams’ Underground Railroad Quilts at her June program, we will begin a Block of the Month Challenge to make two (2) of the Underground Railroad blocks each month on Bee Day. To begin, Ann will have the first two quilt block patterns ready for you to cut and piece together on July 11th.
 
Fabrics needed for Underground Railroad Quilt: 
  • 2 yards background fabric, or (4) 1/2 yard cuts for a scrappy background
  • 12-14 fat quarters, assorted fabrics
  • Border and sashing to be determined later
There are several options to be determined by each individual, so come join us to make plans for your Quilt, even if you don’t have your fabric selection made by Bee Day. This is a sampler quilt, so it doesn’t have to be Reproduction Fabrics. It would look great in 30’s Fabrics or any collection you favor. Enjoy some fellowship with  friends!
