A short update...

So as of today there are 25, yes you read that right, muffins who are definitely going to create squares, and 14 that maybe will... Which of course is very cool...

And there are at least 2 squares that have already been finished or at least near completion…

Muffins totally rock.

The Basics...

The Idea:
a quilt, but not just your average everyday quilt, this will be a joint effort quilt, the individual squares being made by muffins of the Official Emilie Autumn forum to represent themselves and or their country. The quilt, when completed, will be given to Miss Autumn as a gift.

The imagery:
Anything the muffins can dream up that represents of the muffin or group of muffins. All that is required is the muffin(s) forum name and country(ies)

The material:
Anything the muffins can dream up to use, as long as its fabric, you can do things like old ea t-shirts, custom drawn designs, or whatever fabric you have laying around. You can add trinkets and beads if you wish, but try not to go over aboard with them, remember this is a quilt that will be used so we want it to be comfortable and snuggly, so please avoid adding things like safety pins as they can open to easily and poke whoever is snuggled with the quilt.

Dimension:
8 inch by 8 inch (20.32 CM by 20.32 CM) square with a small seam allowance (about ¼ of an inch or .635 cm) to allow the squares to be sewn together to create the final quilt.

The skill level involved:
None really, muffins do not have to be able to sew to create a square, material and fabric markers could make for an amazing looking square.

Sending the finished squares:
Simply e-mail MuffnAsylumQuilt@gmail.com to learn where the square will be sent.
