I started another quilt this weekend. This is the 2008 Block of the Month quilt on BlockCentral.com. I had a really hard time picking the fabric when I bought it a few weeks ago but I am really happy with my choices. This block is called a Union Square.
February's block is called Wyoming Valley. I will receive a new pattern every month to complete this quilt. Each block is different so it won't be complete until the end of the year. Each block is 18" so it will end up being a large lap quilt.I am not a traditional quilter but I really like the start of this quilt and can't wait for March's pattern :-).
This is the block I made for my February block swap. This is not something I would normally make but I really like it. This block is based on a Pat Sloan pattern (by request). I had never heard of this quilter so I found her website very interesting. Check it out if you would like www.quiltershome.com she is very talented and has some great ideas and themes
Here is the block I received. Thank you Betsy :-).
I have started my Feb. block, It's almost complete. Hopefully I will be able to get it done this weekend. Let me know what you think of the material.
Here's an updated picture. Block is still not complete, I have to sew down the appliqued pieces.
