Center of Batik BOM


Last Saturday I picked up the final block for this BOM project.  I now have all the blocks sewn together to make the center of the quilt.  I am now working on the pieced borders.  I am hoping I have enough background fabric to finish this project.  We were given yards of the background fabric a few months ago.  We were told to use it wisely because that was all the fabric we would receive.

I have been thrifty (so I thought) with my background fabric.  I have a couple of yards left for the borders.  I hope I have enough to sew the pieced border, and the two strip borders.  I have hesitated cutting into this last piece of background fabric, but if I am to complete this quilt top I must overcome my hesitation and dive in!

Question:

Our quilt guild is planning a quilt show for this July.  I have volunteered to help.  I found out last night that all our members will be required to pay the admission fee ($10), including those members who are helping with the show.

Recently I have talked with many different guild members of the quilt shows we have attended.  None of these guilds require their members to pay an admission fee if they are helping with the quilt show.

My question to you:  does your guild require all your members to pay an admission fee at your quilt shows, including the members who are helping with the show?

Your response to this question is appreciated.

I hope the rest of the week is enjoyable for you and yours.

Happy Quilting
