Fat Quarter of the Month

Someone suggested that we try raffling some different sizes of fabric from time to time. To add variety, I have added 3 - 10" squares, 3 - 2.5" width of fabric (wof) strips, and 5 - 5" squares some months instead of our usual Fat Quarters. I know it will cause you a bit more work, but it will give a little variety and add to the fun for our winners. Here is the schedule for our raffles. If you've made anything from fat quarters you've won, please bring it to show and tell soon! Join the fun!!
