String Blocks for the Guild Board Members

So in my quilting guild we have a tradition where we make blocks for our board members when they step down.

Board members serve two-year terms in whatever position- President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Membership Chair. The terms are staggered so when you're President you serve one year with one cohort and one with another and so forth. I was President for two years and it was awesome. It was a lot in some ways but it was also pretty great. As an introvert I didn't love the public speaking/running meetings part but I got used to it. I did like picking out fun outfits. And of course the best part is always getting to know our cool members.

Anyway so this year our President, VP and Membership Chair stepped down and we were tasked with making three blocks.

We were assigned string blocks. String blocks are great- they are fun scrap busters and a nice improvisational exercise. They were 8 1/2 inches square and we sewed the fabric to paper foundations.

Fun!
