Past Years' Block of the Month

Each year a small group in our guild handles the Block of the Month program. They are in charge of presenting a new block for everyone to make and turn in the next month for a drawing, or to make for themselves. Sometimes the blocks follow a single creative theme. See below for several year's worth of past guild Block of the Months.

Be sure to see what guild members have done with blocks they have won in the past.


Sweet Treat BOM Quilt

Sweet Treats 2009-2010

The Block of the Month for 2009-2010 was run by Dayna R. and the Net Gang small group. It features blocks with themes of desserts and candies of various kinds! The background fabric for each block will be cream in color. Each month there will be a special fabric that can go into the next month’s block for anyone who stops by the BOM table, until it runs out; first-come, first-served basis. The patterns will consist of various techniques: patchwork, appliqué, paper piecing, curved piecing, and chenille. Please try these techniques, especially if they are new to you!

Each time you turn in a completed block, you need to put your name into 2 drawings: first is the drawing for all the blocks turned in that night; and second, there will be a drawing at the June 2010 meeting for this finished quilt, shown here on the right!

Batik Basket Bonanza 2008-2009

This past Block of the Month is by the Knotty Girls small group. Each basket is different and you will be an expert in half-square triangles by the end of the year! For each basket, you will need one white-on-white background fabric, and one batik fabric for the basket. This will be a great sampler quilt or a beautiful quilt to make from won blocks. Each block unfinished size is 10 1/2 inches.

Society Women 2007-2008

Sewciety Women BOM Quilt

For 2007-2008, the Sewciety Women small group presented a year of “Society” Women blocks. This quilt is very “girly” in nature and encourages embellishment. We all love fancy things! This would make a great present for a girl of any age. The drawing winner of our completed Society Women quilt is Rhonda K. She made at least one or two blocks every month, and won three sets of blocks during the year. Congratulations Rhonda!

Women in our Lives 2006-2007

This past Block of the Month will be run by the Binding Friends small group. The theme was “A Woman’s Life” and our blocks were selected to represent the different stages in a woman’s life. We have used the EQ5 software to choose our blocks, and added additional instructions about how to put the blocks together. Our raw block size is 12 1/2”. (12” finished).

Block Party Seasons Quilt 2005-2006

This past Block of the Month was run by the Block Party Small Group. At the end of the 12 month period a wallhanging can be constructed. Some of the blocks will require more than one of its type, the instructions will say which. Click here to see Sara L.'s completed quilt.

How to make an American Movie Quilt 2004-2005

This past Block of the Month is by the Knotty Girls Small Group. Their theme was how to make an American Movie Quilt. All the blocks were the same size, and have a movie theme.

Clicking on the month will give you the pattern, clicking on the block name will tell you about the movie that the block is for.
