Edited to add: Congratulations to this week’s winner: Michelle M.!

This link-up will be open for one week – until Thursday, February 28 (6 am EST/3 am PST).  You are welcome to share any and all of the blocks you completed this week. When this link-up closes, a new one will open (magic!) so please don’t worry if you fall behind.

The lucky winner will receive a copy of Birds in the Air, Margaret Goes Modern plus a prize package from Colonial Needle Company.

Blocks shared must follow the guidelines below to be eligible to win a prize.

Please note – sharing a photo in the link-up gives Elm Street Quilts and Simple Handmade Everyday permission to feature a photo of your block on their sites. Full attribution will be given.

Guidelines

• Blocks must be entirely hand pieced.  
• Block must visually match a block from the QAL.  The block can be constructed using different units (eg: using two HSTs to make a flying geese).  Blocks can also be made a different size.
• Finished blocks can be shared in any link-up but can only be shared once.  Duplicates will be disqualified.
• Multiple blocks created by one quilter may be shared in the same link-up.
• Winners will be chosen randomly and notified via email.  Winners have 72 hours to claim their prize – if we don’t hear back, we will draw another name.  Once winners have claimed their prize, the link-up post will be updated with the winner’s name.
• This prize is only available to be shipped within the US.
