How to Play
- Link up your intended Q4 projects in the proposed finishes linky party.
- Your projects must be tangible at the quarter’s start—a pattern with fabric, a quilt top, a half-knit jumper, etc.
- When you complete a project, write a dedicated blog post or add a Flickr photo with details.
- At quarter end, link each finish back to the party; each link earns a draw entry.
- A finish is fully completed—quilted and bound, lined and functional bag, or a wearable garment.
- Unfinished items can roll over to the next quarter without penalty.
- All qualifying finishes go into a random prize draw sponsored by our generous donors.
- The finish link party stays open for one week before the next quarter opens.
- During link-up week, tutorials will appear here—contact me if you’d like to contribute.
- Open to everyone, worldwide.
