BUT:
We are excited to announce our new BOM for 2017:
This will start at the January 10th Guild meeting

Each month you will received a BOM each month and at the end of the
12 months you will have enough to make a:
MYSTERY QUILT
Each month you will be given a block pattern (BOM)
It will include directions and templates if needed.
Some blocks may be difficult, if you want one less challenging ask at end of meeting
You will be making 12 blocks @ 12 ½”
You choose your own colors
Each block can be different colors and can have some of the same colors.
Most blocks will need a: dark fabric (dk), med fabric (med), light fabric (lt), etc.
Can use your fabric stash
At the end of the 12 months you will have enough to make a Mystery Quilt
Not sure if this is a real mystery quilt but it is a mystery to you so there ya go
You will be given more instructions as needed. Remember this is a mystery…
There is a theme to this whole quilt. If you figure/guess it out please keep it a secret.
We are hoping to have fun with this…
