Each month our guild members construct a new 'Block of the Month.' Members completing a block place their name in a container. The name drawn is the winner of all of that month's blocks.

The morning guild and the evening guild often have different blocks of the month. Block of the month coordinators:
morning group - Stella Burns, evening group - Priscilla Muse

Below is the current block of the month.

Some of these blocks are scanned and then reduced for quick web-page
loading. They have been scanned and saved in a gif or jpeg format. To be
able to print one full size, right click on the picture and click copy.
Paste the picture into a word or publisher document and
drag to full size.

August 2007 Block of the Month

Morning Guild

There are 3 fabrics in the block, a small floral, a coordinating solid or tone-on-tone (TOT) and a light cream background. Cut

8 - 2 1/2" squares of the light cream background, 4 -

2 1/2" squares of the small floral and 5 - 2 1/2"

squares of the solid or TOT. You will need 8 half-square triangles of the floral and cream combination that are 2 1/2". I use this method: cut

4 backgound squares measuring 2 7/8" and 4 floral squares measuring 2 7/8". Cut the squares once diagonally and sew the resulting triangles together.

You can use whatever method you like to make these half square triangles as long as they turn out 2 1/2".

Then assemble according to the instructions.
