FAQ-on sampler quilt
What if I do not wish to continue this block a month?
You are not committed; but if you miss quite a few months and wish to buy missed blocks you may need to check with us to hold them.
Size?
You will get color fabrics to make 12- 12 ½” and 12 - 6 1/2" blocks. The size of your quilt will be determined by the way you set your blocks. This year we used a prepackaged quilt pattern the finished size is 76" x 96". You will need 12 fat quarters and additional background fabrics to finish the quilt. (details are on pattern you receive when you purchase block one).
Do I wash?
This BOM was not designed for fabrics to be prewashed. If you wish to wash: just hand wash and lay out to dry. You can use Retain if you are concerned about bleeding or fading. I recommend that you wash the quilt with color grabbers the first time.
If I am late or miss the date what do I do?
You need to pay $5.00 and pick up a block in time to get it made before the next meeting. (plus, state sales tax)
If I wait until the next month and why is the cost $10.00?
If you wait until the next meeting you have missed a block ($5.00 cost) and you do not have the previous month block completed ($5.00 cost) a total of $10.00 to pick up two blocks. Remember others came by and picked the block they missed Paid $5.00. (plus state sales tax)
Can a friend pick up my block?
Yes, for a cost of $5.00 any one can pick up your block for you?
Why do I have to pay $5.00 if I miss the meeting?
We have budgeted this as advertisement. To justify the cost, we need to have you come into the shop each month. I do understand we all have tragedies and accidents that are beyond our control. I do have sympathy but if I change the rules for one I must weight each excuse. If everyone understands this is worth the cost and just pays for the blocks they miss, it is fair for all.
