Block of the Month Patterns and Instructions

We are very excited to present the block of the month program for this season. The blocks we have chosen will use many different techniques. We hope that everyone will join in and try something new.

Each month we will use seasonal colors for the block exchange. All blocks together will make a sampler quilt in your chosen colors. The directions for each block will be on our website shortly after our general meeting. This will include a photo. 

Please join the fun, by making a block for the guild in the monthly colors, and one for you, in your choice of colors for your sampler. 

There are a total of 9 blocks, so we will introduce one each month, September through May. Our hope is that when May blocks are brought to the meeting in September 2010, we will also see completed sampler quilts for show and tell.
