Hi Julia,
I've been thinking up crazy ideas during my down time and wanted some input 
on 
this one.  I think it might work.
QBE with a twist!
Seeing that the QBE seems to have slowed down I was trying to think of 
something that might perk up some interest and this is what I came up with.
Instead of having to sew a block each month have a mystery QBE.  What it 
would 
involve is:............
Lets say your pattern choice has 4 pieces and 3 fabrics just for argument 
sake.
The participants would 1 cut pieces from the fabrics.  Pin corresponding 
paper 
template to the pieces and mark them ie. piece A-1, B-2, C-2 and E-3.  That 
would account for 4pcs in 3 colors.  Now insert a piece of paper with the 
placement according to the row ie  A-1 B-2 C-2 A-1
                                   A-1 E-3 E-3 A-1
                                   A-1 B-2 C-2 A-1
Hope I'm explaining this well.
Anyway now the winner has a mystery block to make, the templates, incase it's 
a new design she doesn't have, the cut fabric pieces and placement 
rections.
What do you think?  You can answer when you are up to it.  No rush!
Chat when you can.
