Hello MOD quilters!  Well, despite a rainy day,

Here's a review:

GROUP QUILTS:

Members brought their purple/pink filler blocks and decided the layout of the 

Dec. Block challenge Cheddar Quilt. Kim offered to piece the top.

Helen to bind, Jessica offered to get backing for the quilt.

Please mail them to me BEFORE the next meeting to be included...

These are group quilts, and to be a member and to make this group successful 

we need your participation...

It was decided that we will have this quilt long armed, and once we know what the price will be, 

we will ask for donations to the pay pal account to pay for it.
