Ooh, someone asked today about a ferret quilt block pattern...
 
This is an idea my mother put forth on her Scottie dog message board, and
something wonderful came of it.
 
I know there are so many crafty and quilty people on this list that many
of you must know of the "block a month" clubs at many of the fabric
stores.  The idea is you go in once a month and show them you finished
the block from last month and they give you a pattern and materials for
a new block, until TADA the quilt is finished.  This is something of a
play on that.
 
Someone posted on her scottie board wondering if anyone had a pattern for
a scottie quilt block.  Well, here is what they did...
 
Everyone who wanted to designed a block, and made a paper pattern.  Then
one person was chosen, and all the blocks and patterns were sent to that
person, the blocks were sewn together, and everyone who sent a block got
copies of all the patterns.  The finished quilt was donated to a scottie
rescue for fund raising opportunities, and from what I recall, made quite
a pretty penny.
 
What do you guys think?  We could donate the finished quilt/s (depending
on how many blocks we get) to S.O.S.  to raffle or auction off!  And we
ALL could stand to end up with so MANY neat ferret quilt block patterns!
