Desktop Wallpaper Calendar Block Challenge!

by

     The June 2007 Desktop Wallpaper Calendar is purple, blue, and green, in honor of the month of June. There are two (2) different versions of it; one with the seasonal graphics overlaying it and one without. It is available online, compliments of Quilting Passion.
Bird With Tail Feathers Block
     The blocks selected for this month’s calendar are called, “Bird With Tail Feathers” and “Nosegay Wreath“, both created using EQ5. This challenge, called the “Birds and Nosegay Challenge“, is born from this desktop wallpaper calendar! Nosegay Wreath BlockMake either one or both of the spotlighted patterns for this calendar, mail in the unfinished block(s) (please send a digital photo first, if possible), and it will give you an entry in the contest (one entry is given per block sent in). The winner wins all of the blocks submitted, unless there are more than 16. If more than 16 entries are received, then the blocks will be split so that 1st place receives 2/3 of the blocks. In the event that more than 30 blocks are received, then there will be three (3) winners selected. Blocks will be voted on anonymously via the Quilting Passion Forum.
     Please have your block submissions mailed in to me by June 27th. Voting will commence on or about the 29th and the winning results published the second week of July.
     Guidelines:

  • Please use good quality, 100% cotton fabric.
  • Please make sure that the unfinished block measures precisely 8.5″ x 8.5″.
  • Please have your block submissions mailed in to me by June 27th.
  • Blocks can be embellished as you wish. Feel free to use trims, buttons, etc. in this block. Make sure that all embellishments can survive being washed, and if they can’t, make sure that they are easily removed (buttons, etc. can be attached with a small safety pin).

          I am looking forward to seeing your birds and nosegays!
