Some quilt shops and catalogs sell blocks of the month to sell fabric and patterns. The purpose of my block of the month pages are to help you learn some of the basics of piecing.         If you know the name of the block you are looking for, use "Ctrl F" (Control F) which will bring up a Find box. Simply type in the name of the block you are looking for.         Don't know the name, then you will want to look at the different blocks on the Photo Index below. There you will find a mini version of each block, along with its name and the size of the pattern. HELPFUL HINT         To make any block go together better, measure each element as you make it. If the directions say it should be 4 1/2 inches measure it and make sure it is. If it's too large, trim it down evenly on all sides. If it's too small... start over again.         ( If your guild or group would like to use any of these block patterns, please email me. These patterns are pretty on line but take up a lot of paper and ink when printed. If you do change one to fit on fewer pages, you would be violating my copyright privileges. I will happily send you one in a printer friendly format via email. On that page will be my copyright statement giving you permission to use that block.         All I will ask in exchange for this is for you to consider making a small donation to the American Cancer Society through my Relay For Life web page or by PayPal. My patterns are helping find the cure for cancer. ) Photo Index The sizes listed below are unfinished. 12 1/2 inches unfinished is 12 inches finished (when placed in a quilt) 6 1/2 inches unfinished is 6 inches finished (when placed in a quilt) (Want to find a block by name?
