The last week in June we have Quilt Camp at our church for the teens, actually for 6th grade through 24 years old. In other years we have had a couple of college girls that wanted to come so we raised the age limit. This is our 4th year and we have 11 girls, 6 of them returnees. We have 5 adults working with the girls and we are all returnees too. It is not really "camp" we are at the church from 10 AM until 3 PM Monday through Friday.
Tomorrow we are getting together to go over the lesson plan and we will all make a quilt top so we will all be on the same page with our instructions. I cut out my kit last week so I could be sure that the yardage and cutting instructions were correct. We are doing that much ahead of time so we can get the top done tomorrow.
I went ahead and made my strip sets and cut the blocks I wanted to make sure I had not done something creative with my arithmetic. Below are the blocks for 2 partial rows. The pattern is Warm Wishes. We like to keep it simple because most of the girls do not sew at home. I will post pictures tomorrow when we have our practice tops done. I am optimistic and believe we will get them done tomorrow.
