School Block Challenge Winners Announced
Sponsored by Moda Fabrics, this year’s blocks were constructed by individual students and by small groups. Participating schools were given packets with three fabrics from Moda Fabrics, and students were required to use all three fabrics in their blocks. Quilters often assist the students as their projects develop. The blocks are judged in categories of K - 4th grades, 5th - 8th grades and 9th - 12th grades. A grand prize award is also given to the overall outstanding quilt block.
