Tacoma Meeting June 6, 2018

Tacoma Lakes Quilters met today...This year has gone fast and we are winding down for the summer. Today we focused on our BOM that started in September. Each month we assigned a different size block. The sizes were 12" block, 5x8", 3x5", 16 sq., 6" sq., 9" sq., 4x10",10" sq., and the last 2 months any size. You could also make more depending on the finished size you wanted .We had great participation. Donna and Margo shared some ideas on they process of putting them together. You will see pictures of those finished or in process. Many picked themes and there were a variety of colors. It has been so much fun doing and we plan to have them completed for our first meeting in September to put them in our quilt show.
