Basically, the challenge is to make one 12″ block using text fabric. The block can be paper-pieced, traditionally pieced, or improvisionally pieced. The name of the game is using text creatively in your block. Amy has posted a couple of examples in her blog post and, of course, there is a Flickr group for more inspiration. The block needs to be done by the end of August so that feels manageable.
So pass the word on to your friends and start looking around for some of that popular text fabric!
Hope you are keeping cool! It is rather warm here in Northern California today.
