Block of the Month
At every guild meeting a new block pattern is available, along with pre-cut fabric pieces to make up the block. A sample of the block is also on display. You are encouraged to make a block and turn it in at the next meeting. For each block turned in, you receive one chance in a drawing to win the blocks.
