Each month Rebekah will give us instructions and a color palette to make a block. In the spirit of modern quilting, most of the blocks will be improv based with a final size specification. Then we have the option to make a block of our own and bring it to the following month’s meeting. We’ll combine all of the finished blocks into a quilt that will be donated to one of our local charities.
This is a low pressure bee. If you want to make a block, bring it. If you want to make more than one, that’s great. If you’re out of time and can’t make a block, that’s fine, too.
February Block: Inspiration Quilt
Color scheme: lime green, navy, red, and aqua (modern prints or solids only)
Unfinished block size: 12.5″
Block instructions: Make an improv quarter square log cabin. Start with a small square and then add two identical strips to 2 sides of the square. Repeat until 12.5″ is reached.
Have fun and let Rebekah know if you have any questions!
