Block of the Month Block of the Month Archives
Do you like to try a new quilt blocks without committing to an entire project with that block? Then Block of the Month is for you!
Last year we tried something different with the block of the month. Participants kept their blocks and made something for themselves out of them.
This year, since we cannot get physically together, the program committee would like to offer the BLOCK OF THE MONTH as a “Mystery Quilt”. Each month you will receive the instructions for one block. Towards the end of the guild year, you will receive suggestions on how to join all the blocks together to make a 33’ x 46 ½ ‘ wall hanging. Of course, you can add extra borders/wider borders to turn it into a lap quilt.
Materials Needed
Border:
(The material requirements are for the wall hanging…additional border fabric will be required for a larger quilt.)
