Block of the Month 1999-2000

Make one block, win 12. Have a quilt top ready to assemble! Your name goes in a hat once per block contributed.  Designs, colors and themes are chosen so that individual blocks will coordinate easily and each month will tap a different kind of quilting to try to intrigue all of you.

This is the Road to California block. Make one of more of these for the November l5th guild meeting. Your name goes in the hat for each one you submit, and a winner takes all. They will make an interesting quilt because the block is asymmetrical.

We want the result to remind us of the lovely fall colors, so here are the guidelines. You will need a total of 3 fabrics:

• Cut the A squares and triangles from a tone-on-tone beige fabric
• Cut the B squares from a warm red, green, gold, or brown - you know, fall foliage shades. Use a print rather than a solid.
• Cut the C triangles from a different warm red, green, gold, or brown print. Each square is 2" finished, so your block will measures 8 1/2".

 Templates are provided, but of course it will be easy to rotary cut. If you don't know an easy way to make triangles, give one of us a call.
