And so it begins… a blog hop of fun sugar skull patterns!
Here is how it will work:
Beginning on July 1st through August 26th 2017 each designer will release their skull design. On September 2nd and September 9th there will be two border designs released.
Each block will be 9″ x 12″ with a sugar skull motif. Each block and border will be available for download on the specified day. There will be a nominal fee of $3.00 for each download. I can’t wait to hear each designer’s story of their block design. Some designers followed the tradition of designing a skull to honor of loved one who has passed.
Each designer was given a pack of wonderful fabric from Island Batik and 12 weight thread from Aurifil.
Oh- and did I mention there will be prizes????
Here is how the prizes work:
- Join our Facebook group. Fiesta de Azucar 2017.
- Create at least one block and submit a photo of your finished project to the Facebook group page- make it into a quilt with all the blocks, or a mini quilt with one block or…
- Deadline for submitting a photo of your completed project is October 21, 2017. One submission per person please!
- Winners will be announced by October 30, 2017.
