The basic rules are:
1. Visit and gather RBR patterns from participating stores.
2. Create eight or more different rows from eight different stores (some stores have more than one row)
3. Piece your quilt using these eight or more rows.
4. Your quilt must be pieced, quilted, and labeled before claiming a prize.
5. Be the first person to enter the store with a completed quilt to claim the prize of 25 fat quarters of fabric. If you used that store's row you also are able to claim a bonus prize (at the discretion of that store.)
I was able to complete and turn in a quilt in 2015 for the bonus prize at the Danville, CA store, Wooden Gate Quilts. The bonus prize was fabric pre-cuts and kits, which probably valued close to $100.00. Needless to say, I was pleased with my two prizes!!!
I have personally visited about ten stores for their patterns. I've had some very kind friends in other areas doing the same thing. I hope that they don't get offended if I didn't use the row they collected for me. Sometimes it's all appliqué, which I really try to avoid. But I did include some appliqué in my quilt for two reasons:
1. The row was so cute and irresistible that I just had to include it in my quilt. (Notice how cute the picture below is!! I couldn't resist. The little coconut bra just made it that much more cute!)
2. The row was the store that I intend to claim the bonus prize. I just have to be the first one there!!!! (and I included 4 or 5 local stores so that I had a better chance of claiming the bonus prize)
