Each month a new block (or more) will be posted and a new thread will begin for each new month. I hope many of you will join in and we will have a lot of new quilts in 12 months or less.
You can join in at any time. We'd love to have you!
This month there are 2 blocks; as always, you can do one or none of them. Your choice. These blocks will be yours, so choose your fabrics and quilt away.
*****************************************
This month I chose our block(s) for November. Both blocks have been around for a long time.
Remember to always use scant 1/4" seams when making quilt blocks.
The first block is called Box Kite.
http://www.quilterscache.com/B/BoxKiteBlock.html
And the other block is called Balkan Puzzle.
http://www.quilterscache.com/B/BalkanPuzzleBlock.html
Your blocks should measure 12-1/2" square when finished, before they are sewn into a quilt/project.
As always, have fun with these blocks and please post your blocks so we can all see what fabrics you are using. It is amazing that a different fabric choice or placement of light-dark fabrics can often really change the look of the blocks.
If you have any questions about the instructions, please ask here or email me and I will try to help you.

Second block done! I realized after I made it the solid red was not the best choice. |

I will start this up again this week. We have been doing this for 7 months so far, so you could have 7 blocks or 14 blocks. And you can stop whenever you want. I'm so happy that people are having fun making the blocks.

How many months have we been doing this? I have 9 blocks done, so, I must have done extra ones, but how many more months will we be doing this? Just wondering?
