Block of the Month 2016 - THANGLES

Once again we are doing a block-of-the-month program at Block Party Studios!  Let me introduce you to....



Fat Quarter Pot Pie!
 
Our monthly block program is using the THANGLES product again! We have chosen one of their project packs to use this year.  The pattern is called Fat Quarter Pot Pie. This is a quick and easy block that uses 3" THANGLES and 2 Fat Quarters - a light and a dark. Each set of Fat Quarters will make 2 -13" square finished blocks, one negative colorway and the other positive colorway.
We will be running our program from January through October with 2 options.
Option #1 - Large Lap Quilt size 52" x 65". (10 Light/10 dark)  Each month you will pick up 2 Fat Quarters - 1 light and  dark for $5.00
Option #2 - Twin Size Quilt size 65" x 91". (18 Light/18 Dark) January through September you will pick up 4 Fat Quarters - 2 light and 2 dark for $10.00.
Enrollment Fees:
January Enrollment Fee for Option #1 - $20.00
- includes the Fat Quarter Pot Pie Project Pack with 3” Thangles, Pattern and 2 Fat Quarters.
January Enrollment Fee for Option #2 - $25.00
- includes the Fat Quarter Pot Pie Project Pack with 3” Thangles, Pattern and 4 Fat Quarters.
*Remember, you are making 2 – 13” square finished blocks from each set of 2 Fat Quarters. 
And there is enough extra for you to use as the binding for your quilt.
*If you would like to make a larger quilt, the pattern has directions for a Queen size, and extra Fat Quarters will be available from our Fat Quarter bin, for the regular price of 2 for $5.98.
We are offering two color ways:  Blacks and Whites and Brights with Creams

Focusing on the Four "F's"

When Jeanne Coverdale (pronounced "genie") created Block Party Studios she focused on these four categories:

Faith
 
 Family


 Friendship



and FUN!
 Now we have hundreds of panels to choose from these 4 categories, with patterns and kits too.  We think you'll love our fabric panels as much as we do!  We'll show you more of these hand printed panels in the coming weeks.
