Quiltalong Bingo
New this year – Quiltalong Bingo! This game was inspired by a couple of other craftalongs. Over in the 50 Projects or Bust Craftalong (hosted by our very own @AIMR), Linda is hosting a WIPGO game and the Nerd Games has a fun Mad Lib event that has participants using randomized generators to fill in the Mad Lib. Well, the two things got me thinking, what if we could do a Bingo game in the Quiltalong and everyone could generate their own Bingo cards? And so, this game of Quilty Bingo was born!
To play:
- Each Quiltalong member can play with up to 2 Bingo cards
- Generate your Bingo cards here
- Post your Bingo cards in the Quiltalong thread once they’ve been created
- Each week I will call out a Bingo prompt (all of which will be recorded in this thread)
- Bingo prompts must be completed during the first quarter (January 1st – March 31st)
- Every quilter who gets a Bingo (5 marked squares in a row - across/down/ or diagonal) will get a prize at the end of the quarter
- The first quilter to get a Bingo will win an extra prize (so make sure to call out your Bingo as soon as you get it!)
- You can complete prompts before or after they are called, but you can only mark a prompt once it has been called
Additional clarification:
All Bingo prompts refer to quilting projects (obviously 
).
Any Bingo square that makes mention of creating a post or sharing information is referring to creating a post here in the Quiltalong thread (unless it specifically references creating a community post, which refers to creating a post on the main LettuceCraft page).
The term “quilty media” refers to any media (videos, books, magazines, blogs, etc.) related to quilting.
A quilted item can be used for more than one prompt - i.e. if you have complete the January BOM on your goal list and you complete it, you would be able to cross of ‘complete one of your monthly goals,’ as well as ‘create a Quiltalong BOM block,’ so long as both prompts have been called.
If I am playing two cards, does it mean I have to do two of each prompt to mark it off?
No, a single project or prompt can be used for both cards.
Also, could you explain the “create a quiltalong BOM”…does it mean completing one on here or we have to design one?
You just need to complete one of the monthly BOMs that we are doing here in the Quiltalong.
