For our Block of the Month for our 2008-2009 Guild Year we will be having fun with the traditional nine patch pattern block.  In the following months, we hope to make a sampler quilt featuring many variations of this pattern.  Each month you will receive one or two patterns with instructions to make a 12" block.  The final instructions will contain sashing and border measurements to complete the 70" x 84" quilt.

In addition, if you wish to participate, each month you will make one more block using the theme as decided by the committee.  All the blocks are to be returned at the following guild meeting and the names of the participants will be put into a draw and one lucky person will take home all the theme blocks!  The theme for the September Block is "Fall Colours".

Here's a look at samples of the September blocks and of blocks done in the fall colours for the draw.  Click on an image for a larger view.
