Sorry I’m not here to present this new BOM at the Guild Meeting, but I am sure you do not want the flu

This is a BOM with a choice, you can do one 12” block per month, or for those that like a challenge, do one 12” and two 6” blocks per month
This will be a great way to use scraps and the neutrals you have collected 
At the end I will offer two layouts, one for just the twelve blocks and another for all the blocks
