Over the last couple of weeks I have been introduced more to a pattern company that produces simple card patterns made by various designers! This particular company has a pattern designer from Wisconsin and she names all of her patterns after cities in the state!
I present to you the pattern called MARKESAN!!!
After a small nudge from a follower, I have come up with a great idea! With 2026 being the 250th celebration for the USA, I thought it would be awesome to have various quilters from the area make a block to put the quilt together. Once it's done, it would be auctioned off and all proceeds will go to the Abendroth-Connolly American Legion Post 282!
I would like the blocks to be a red, white and blue theme, rather than the multi-colored theme that the pattern shows. I do have fabrics that can be purchased at the shop or you can use whatever is in your stash! I have ordered more patterns, but it'll be a bit before I receive them. Those who participate will receive a free pattern!
