Sue Szot, the new chair for Block of the Month, invites you to participate in this year’s Block of the Month. Click here for the website that has all the block information.
Click each month and it will take you to the specific block for the month.
There are only 8 blocks in this quilt, but as shown there will be setting triangles and a pieced border. Block 1 will be August, Block 2 September, Block 3 October, Block 4 November, Block 5 January, Block 6 February, Block 7 March, Block 8 April, I think we are all busy enough in December that we can take that month off. May will be finishing instructions along with the pieced border. June will be sharing the completed quilts and/or quilt tops.
We will be working on a project featured on AllPeopleQuilt.com as the BOM for May, 2014. I have been unable to obtain its name. Requests to its designer, Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts, have remained unanswered, but I believe this will be a fun project. This quilt has eight 9″ blocks and each block is surrounded by setting triangles. The quilt is shown in a planned color pallet, but could easily be made scrappy, using up your stash. The finished size of this quilt is 55 1/2 inches by 73 1/2 inches. Please consider making each quilt block twice, in the same or a completely different colorway. At year’s end, you will have two beautiful quilts, one to keep or give to a
loved one, and one to donate to our Community Quilts Project. Because we live in a digital age, copies of the block will not be made available on
paper. To get directions, please sign up to receive the monthly block instructions via email. Contact Sue Szot.
