At the July guild meeting we played quilter's bingo. We made bingo boards from fabric -- "yellow stripe," "green batik," "purple floral," etc. The boards were bordered in black or white. The charity chairman designed easy patterns and added fabric to create kits for donation quilts. I took two of the kits at the November meeting.
I trimmed the black-bordered bingo board blocks (say that three times fast) in one kit to 14" and added snowball corners (2" squares). I found a yard-plus of Kona black in my stash (2010 purchase per the note), more than enough for the borders.
I have a completely different idea in mind for the remaining blocks. It's still evolving. Come back on Monday!
Linking up with Finished or Not Friday
Really neat take on your bingo blocks;))-- Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of those stained glass squares windows one used to see in old houses.

That's a great way to put those bingo blocks together! I like the snowball corners, too - those pinwheels they create just float against the black. Where will this quilt go after you finish it?
ReplyDeleteThose bingo blocks made a great quilt!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects

ReplyDeleteYou always have such great ideas. This bingo square is amazing and serves as 2 purposes. WOW! I might just have to suggest it to mine. Hooray for you to put it together for the guild. You do so many wonderful things, including your hiking and various performances. I like your style.
