Yes! There will be a block of the month this year! Hooray!!! The logo is a huge giveaway.... tee hee he he.
I will encourage you to use your fabric stash once again this year. I will be using my own fabric stash too. The entire quilt is based on 2 1/2" squares.
Finished size of the quilt will be 54" x 66", a lap/twin sized quilt when it is finished. The quilt will be broken down into 12 sections for you to stitch, leaving the borders for December.
We will officially get started on the 15th of January. This will give you time to get your fabric gathered. When choosing fabrics, this is a two-toned quilt. For example, blue and white, red and white. You want contrast between the background and design. Think, light and dark... this quilt can be scrappy, scrappy, scrappy, or very controlled, it's up to you. If you want, you can have the dark color be the background and the light be the design. It's all about contrast. Like I said before, the quilt is based on 2 1/2" squares. If I counted correctly a total of 724 squares total. 504 background squares and 220 'design' squares. So, if you want to gather a ton of scraps and divide them between light and dark and cut your 724 2 1/2" squares, you sure can! I would cut extra in case my math is off. I will be going thru my scraps and doing this too. But if you want to purchase fabric... here's what you 'll need.....
2 yards contrasting color
2 1/2 yards cream background
1/2 yard binding
Each month's pattern is a free PDF instant download. If you miss a month, the patterns are available for $2.50 on my website and also in my Etsy shop.
