Join the Gorham White Rock Grange and the Maine Quilts of Valor with Donna Brookings, a chapter of the national Quilts of Valor program in the second Quilt Block Challenge. We challenge you, your friends, family and community to join us build quilt blocks for the Quilts of Valor program.
We are looking to make as many quilts as possible with a monthly block theme. Each quilt top requires (28) 12.5″ blocks. Make one or make a dozen, we will accept whatever you can make.
RULES:
- 100% Cotton Fabric
- No sparkles or glitter that rubs off fabric by hand or in wash
- Use shades of Red, White & Blue Fabric
- Use white/light colored fabric as the background color of all your challenge squares.
- Mail finished block to Michelene Decrow, 140 Barstow Road, Gorham, ME 04038 or Drop off at Baxter Memorial Library, 71 South Street C/O Dani Grady, email [email protected] to coordinate submission of your blocks
- We will accept your monthly block submission at anytime! Craft November’s block in January, it’s OK!
- Quilt Blocks will be sewn together by Grange Members, and be submitted for display at the 2021 Cumberland County Fair Grange Exhibit. At the close of the Fair, these beautiful works of love will be awarded to a veteran through the Quilts of Valor program.
2021 Monthly Quilt Along
