Women of Steel Quilt Block Challenge

To commemorate the 30^th Anniversary of Women of Steel in District 6, the D6 Women’s Committee is making a quilt. We are asking women/women’s committees across the District to submit a quilt block. Each block should be reflective of the women in your area and showcase the talents of Sisters of Steel. 

Challenge your women’s committee to design a block. You can use the fabric provided in this kit or design a block using your own materials. The only stipulation is that the finished block must measure 12½” X 12½” square. 

If your committee is interested in participating in this quilt block challenge, send an email to womenofsteel6@gmail.com. We will send you a package with materials and instructions.
