2018 CHARITY BLOCKS

Scrappy 9 patch blocks using low volumes. Have no idea what that means, no worries, we found a great tutorial.

You can strip piece and do a bunch of blocks or just make one. We’re using 2.5″ squares and making a 6.5″ unfinished block. We’ll also need some 6.5″ low volume blocks. Bring any finished blocks to our weekly meeting.

We’ll be dedicating our September Meeting to sew some quilt tops. Any questions contact Barbie thequiltingmill@yahoo.com
