Block of the Month

	Block of the Month
	Slice & Dice Patterns The theme for this year is "Slice & Dice" --- that is, each block will have a cutting trick that will change a simple block or strip set into a finished block that looks much more complicated than it really is. Construction of the blocks will be beginner to intermediate (advanced quilters are highly encouraged to participate and experiment with fabric and value choices!). The main objective is to provide our quilters with quick, exciting blocks that can be pieced into single block quilts OR a final sampler at the end of the year. The instructions will be available on paper at the meetings, as well as online through download or email. Elizabeth To download the patterns you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. Download it here. PLEASE NOTE - When printing these PDFs, set the Page Scaling to None.
