Bring a fat quarter or two to throw in the pot. It only takes one fat quarter to enter but the more you throw into the pot, the better chance you have to win them all.
Make sure your name is on the fat quarter (written on the salvage or written on paper and pinned to the fabric). Use 100% cotton, quilt shop quality fabric only.
On the last day of the retreat, one fat quarter will be drawn from the pot and the person whose name appears on the fabric will win the whole pot.
