Friendship Blocks

Friendship Block Instructions

Make a sample block to display.
Make packages to distribute.

Packages can be:

  • Directions only.
  • Directions with some of the fabric included.
  • Directions with all the fabric included.

Please include on your directions:

  • Your name.
  • Your phone number.
  • The month and year your block is first available.
  • Explain that the block(s) may be turned in at a meeting or sent directly to you.
  • Remind people to put their names on the signup sheet if they take a package.
  • Remind people to enter the date when they turn blocks in (or call the coordinator and tell her if the blocks are sent directly to you).
  • Ask people to sign the back of your block in the seam allowance with permanent pen (if you want the names).

Other Information

  • We will provide the signup form, display board and display sign.
  • We will track who takes your blocks and who turns them in.
  • We will collect your blocks from people at the meetings and be sure the blocks get back to you.
  • We will give you a list (eventually) of everyone who made a block for you and who still has outstanding blocks.
  • If time is a factor in finishing your quilt, please be aware there are always a few people who take packets/directions and never make a block, or return it unfinished.
  • There will also be a few blocks that come back many months later, so plan accordingly.

Coordinators: Maureen Krantz (day) & Kathleen Davenport (eve)
