Open Gates Quilts is kicking off her FREE Block of the Month program today. The Blogger Girls BOM feature a 6 block quilt. You can make a small quilt with 6 blocks or make 2 of each block for a larger quilt. Stop by Monique's blog today and get the instructions for your first block.
I'm using Field Notes, designed by Blackbird Designs for Moda fabrics. Here are my first 2 blocks, and please visit the following bloggers as they sew along and post pictures of their blocks, too.
