Ready for a challenge. Our Block of the Month will offer a chance to learn new skills in a guided learning setting. Students will focus on making one block per month so there will be plenty of time to work at your own level but still, have time to complete your quilt by the end of the year. Just think, at the end of the sessions, you will have a queen-sized quilt.
