Last year, everyone seemed to enjoy the Pizza Box Challenge, which involved making blocks every month for someone else. This year, since so many people enjoyed making a different block every month, we thought it might be fun to do a Block of the Month Challenge. With this challenge you will still only make 1 block each month. You, of course, could make more, but for one 55”x70” quilt, you will only need 1 block of each. Also, with this challenge, you will be keeping all of your blocks, and if you get behind, no one will know except you! At the end of the year if you follow along each month you will have a finished quilt top ready to be quilted, and cherished.

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS Please keep in mind when selecting your fabric to choose fabrics that will go well together. Also be sure to pick something that you or the person that you will be giving the quilt to will like. The finished quilt will be approx 55” x 70” when finished. □ Block Designs - for the 12 blocks you will need a total of 3 yards in any combination of light and dark fabrics. You can use whatever cuts of fabric you like as long as they equal 3 yards. □ Sashing and Corner Blocks - 1.5 yards of light fabric and 2 yards of dark fabric □ Backing - 6 yards □ Binding - 3/4 yard for 2 1/2 inch binding
