February Block of the Month!

Just a little more Valentine inspiration.

Are you ready for the second block in our 2012 Block of the Month project? Let me know if you’re sewing along with me and what fabrics you’ve chosen. As a  teacher and designer, it’s always so interesting to see how distinctive a pattern can look depending on fabric selection.

A couple of years ago, I was teaching a holiday wallhanging class. As the students were getting settled, I mentioned that I was looking forward to seeing their fabrics. One by one, each of them brought out the same kit they’d purchased in the shop – so much for diversity!

Here are my two samples of the February block. Click here to download the instructions for Block 2 or click to visit our pattern library. I’ve added a Setting Diagram for anyone who is interested in a preview of the finished quilt. If you’re just getting started, all of the monthly block instructions will be available in our pattern library.
