Guidelines
Fat Quarter Exchange
Just a few things to keep in mind when participating in the monthly fat quarter drawing: first, a fat quarter is approx. 18” x 22”.
• You can buy fat quarters already cut from the fabric store or buy half a yard of fabric and cut it down the middle. This way you are building your stash and on the months you don’t win, you still have a piece of the fabric you put in the drawing!
• You can put your name in the drawing once for each fat quarter you contribute. If you bring one, your name goes in once, you bring two then your name goes in twice, etc. Of course the more people who participate, the more fabric is in the pot.
• If there are fewer than six fat quarters in the pot we will wait until the following month and combine the fabric and names and then draw. So encourage everyone to participate.
• You will be given a list of fat quarter colors or themes for the year but we will also try to announce the color for the following month at the meetings.
• Please make sure that your fat quarter is 100% cotton fabric and that it is clean and pressed. Now I don’t mean washed – just clean. Some people don’t want their fabric washed before they use it.
• If you are unsure about what the list is asking for just do your best. There are no wrong answers!!
• All of the entry slips will be held until the end of the year, and we will have another drawing at that time for a quilting pattern book.
• For every fat quarter you contribute to the drawing during the year that is one time that your name goes in to the drawing for the book.
• So good luck and have fun!
