Modern Flip - Bring a traditional orphan block, one left over from a previous or abandoned project and experiment with making them more modern using various modern techniques.
Also bring some background fabric, a glue stick, scissors and a mat and rotary cutter.
There will be blocks and other items available to use if you have none to bring.
TOM - Technique of the Month
Learn a new modern technique each month. Make a block in the Pantone color of the year, Living Coral with a cream and turn in to be put into a charity quilt at the end of the year. Use only solids or tone on tones in the 2 colors only. No multiple color prints please. You may go towards orange or pink on the color wheel, but stay true to the hue as much as you can. If you are on Instagram please post pictures of your blocks with #lincolnmqgTOMqal
