In 2008 we are doing our Block of the Month a little different.  We will be providing a block kit each month (12 blocks) but they will be worked into two six block quilts.  The first six blocks are made into a Super Simple Sampler.  The second six blocks are made into a Fantastic Feathered Star.  The skills learned in the first quilt are used again in the second quilt but the two quilts are quite different. The blocks in both sets will be 9” squares when they are finished.  You will have the option of signing up for one or both sets of blocks.  If you choose to sign up for only one (six blocks set), the registration fee will be $3.00. If you want to sign up for both sets, the fee will be $5.00 For fabric required to make either of the Block of the Month quilts for 2008 click here.Fabric_Req.htmlshapeimage_1_link_0
 Super Simple Sampler:  For the first six blocks you will choose and purchase a background fabric. The kits will include the other pieces and the instructions for making the blocks. We will show two quilts made with two different background colors and two different but similar settings (one is “quilt as you go” and the other is quilted after the top is pieced). As always, you do not have to make your blocks like our quilts. Our models are just examples. Option_1.htmlOption_2.html

Fantastic Feathered Stars:  For the second set of blocks you will have to choose and purchase a theme fabric to make your blocks.  The kits will include the other pieces, cream/off white background, and the instructions for making the blocks.  The quilt can have many different looks depending on what theme fabric you choose. Since we will not be starting this quilt until July, you will have 6 months to look for a theme fabric.Second_six.html
