1) The center block can use the focus of a Snowflake that you cut out yourself and appliqué or hand sew on; you can use a pattern of a snowflake you have found, and attach it in an appropriate fashion. Or, you can select a winter scene that includes snow (and hopefully snowflakes).
2) Be creative and artistic in your decisions, in your composition, and in your layout/work. What does that mean?? Please do not select a pre-printed panel and think that you have accomplished the goal.
3) Only 1 fabric will be passed during the process. Select 1 fabric that you would like seen incorporated in the next border... it can be no more than a fat quarter and no less than a 2.5" strip (by WOF).
4) Remember that the person that ships the quilt to be quilted, DOES NOT ship any fabric.
5) If you feel the need to put the block on point, please feel free to do that. If your design suggests that you move everything to one side, then do it. If you have any questions through this, please feel free to contact me.
6) The quilting on this will be done either by hand or by machine. This is not a time to try your hand at stippling, or any other fancy top stitching. And, actually, during this process, you will have 4 months to practice so that your final quilting will be in a method that you are familiar with.
7) Be sure to include the label that has been sent along with the quilt. This can be attached before you quilt or after you quilt. If you are not sure about how to include a label, there are any number of sites on the internet, you can ask your favorite quilter or check with your favorite quilt store.
Prepare this Master Piece as if you were presenting it to the Quilting Guild as a gift. Treat it as if they were going to place it in a glass container, and displayed for all quilters to see. Honor the person that will get it with the very best you have to offer.
