2022-2023
This season's Block of the Month (BOM) will feature 12 1/2" blocks (12" finished) that are made from sixteen 3½” Half Square Triangles (HSTs). We will be making two blocks each month, with instructions for the first two being posted in August and the last two in January.
Members are encouraged to keep the blocks to make a lap (or other size if you like) quilt for the Guild Quilt Show in April 2023. The quilts will be displayed at our April meeting where members will vote for their favourites and prizes will be awarded.
Photos of your blocks can be posted on the Guild Facebook page so others can see your progress.
If any help is needed in making the blocks, please contact Emma Russell or Mary DeVries.

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!
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.)
