The Strawberry Patchers, a Chapter of the Arizona Quilters Guild (www.azquiltersguild.org) was organized in February 1994 by a handful of very dedicated quilters. Currently we have a membership of nearly 40 and welcome anyone who is interested in quilting at any skill level.
Six members started a 'Round Robin' Project in the Fall of 2008. Each person made a center block. Then, along with a bag of coordinating fabric, the blocks went to the next person for the next 'round' until the quilt tops were completed.
