We are excited to announce our new BOM for 2017:

This will start at the January 10^th 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…
