Welcome to March! Our DAM Charity Bee block for this month is the “Sunday Morning” pattern by Cheryl Arkison from the book Sunday Morning Quilts by Cheryl Arkison and Amanda Jean Nyberg. It’s on page 96 of this wonderful book (highly recommended!) Our colors will be purple, pink, grey, and black from the Polaroid palette. Bring your blocks to our April meeting .. who can volunteer to put them together?

A sample Sunday Morning quilt can be found on Rebekah’s blog here Don’t Call Me Becky

Rebekah made us a sample block:

Color Palette: Mudpunch – Polaroid: purple, pink, grey, black

Unfinished Block Size: 12.5″

Block Instructions: Sew 7 strips (10″ x 2.5″) of fabric together to create a stack of stripes. Cut a 3.5″x13″ strip of fabric and sew it perpendicular to the stack of stripes. Trim block to 12.5″. If you have strips of different widths, feel free to use more/less than 7 strips together to create the stack of stripes.

Please contact Rebekah if you have any questions. Happy Sewing!
