Block of the Month
Some quilt shops and catalogs sell blocks of the month to sell fabric and patterns.
The purpose of my block of the month pages are to help you learn some of the basics of piecing.
I am declaring 2012 as My Year to Give!
Each month I will post a free pattern which everyone can use to make charity quilts. During that month I personally will try to make at least ONE quilt using that pattern for each one of the charities that I have on my personal charity list. At the end of the month/beginning of the next month, I will report on my progress.

Click on the heart for more information, and to see what I’ve accomplished so far.


Here is another block for the 2011 BOM Sampler. This one is kind of boring
alone but quite exciting when combined with other 2011 BOMs.

Four Patch Snowball
