Many thanks to our sponsors you have donated prizes for the Beginner’s Quilt-Along. Prizes are being awarded randomly each week from those that share their completed blocks in our Flickr group. There will also be grand prizes awarded at the end of our quilt-along for those that complete the quilt top.

I will be updating this page as the sponsor/prize info becomes available and the winners are chosen each week.

Kick-Off Party

Reliable Corporation donated a Digital Velocity V100 iron to one lucky blog reader that helped us spread the word about the quilt-along to others. Congratulations to Sherry who won the Reliable iron.

Grand Prizes

The grand prizes will be awarded by votes from the community that visit this web site, similar to the weekly quilt contests. To be eligible, you only need to complete the top of your quilt, including both borders. In next week’s post, there will be a link where you can submit your quilt top for voting purposes. You’ll have until October 2nd at 10:00 a.m. to enter.
