We started the Block of the Month in February 2007. This project will run for twenty months. A twelve inch finished size block was decided on. In other words we will be making twelve and a half inch blocks each month, and we will each keep our own blocks to make into a quilt. Beth Herrod brought the next pattern, “Pansy Park” that was passed out. If you have missed a block Patsy Glotfelty will have extra copies of the patterns.SPRING SEW-IN
