Service Project 2026-27
Please consider joining your fellow members in making "Friendly Service" blocks. The blocks will be assembled to make quilts for Staben House. Waukegan Township’s Staben House provides transitional housing and community enrichment services to homeless women with children.
The pieced block will measure 8.5" with seam allowance (finished size within the quilt will be 8”), and we are hoping to collect a large amount to put together some sweet quilts for the children residing at Staben House.
June Block - String Pieced Block
Block should be made with various blue fabrics; the large triangle should be dark blue; the diagonal stripe should be light blue.
Either photocopy the full-sized pattern or cut an 8.5" square of muslin for the foundation for the string piecing. See "strip piecing" directions for the process if you are unsure of the technique. Trim the finished block to 8.5".
