2025 Quilt Project
It Takes a Village Quilt

Village is a free PDF download available from the Fat Quarter Shop or the Moda Website.  The quilt can be made with scraps or charm packs along with some yardage.

Here is a link to the free pattern: https://www.fatquartershop.com/village-quilt-free-pdf-pattern

​

Participants will have the opportunity to show their completed blocks at the monthly guild meetings. And the big reveal for quilts or quilt tops will be at the November meeting.  A prize drawing will be held at the December gathering.

 

There are options for participation in the project…

• Participate in the monthly block exchange for a scrappy look.

  • Starting with the February meeting bring at least 2 completed blocks that are 5.5” x 7” to the monthly meeting.

  • You will show your blocks and you will choose one of your blocks to exchange.

  • Please put the exchange block in a quart size Zip lock bag for safekeeping. 

  • You will sign-in for the exchange when you arrive at meeting and we will randomly team you up with another participant to exchange with for that month.

• ​Or...

• You can create your own version of the Village quilt as a mini-quilt, table runner, wall hanging or lap quilt. You may want to have a theme for your quilt for example haunted houses or houses to signify seasons of the year. A prolific quilter may want to make the 132 house village which finishes at 69” x 75.5” which will qualify them for their name entered in the prize drawing 2 times. You could focus on a holiday or color or solid fabrics or black & white only or whatever strikes your fancy.  One person drew their inspiration from a charm pack in blues that yielded 20 houses  and they added tree blocks for a village wall hanging.
