Finally, a project I can share! Although you will have to wait a whole year until it is finished. My quilt guild, the LA modern quilt guild has decided on a BOM- block of the month. Each month another member will design the block – which means that I will end up with something very interesting since each designer will put their own stamp on it. No, I’m not designing, it’s not my thing.
Last year I won a pack of fat quarter Birch Fabrics at one of our meetings. I had also bought another one at Road to California. I hadn’t decided what kind of quilt I’d make with these fabrics.
I also bought some solids, so I pretty much have my palette.
And here is January’s block. These are the fabrics the guild chose. If anyone who isn’t a member of our guild wants this amazing block, then go to Liz Harvatine’s shop. The pattern is only $4. and she shows a mini quilt she already made with this block.
At our weekend sew, I cut out the fabric, then went home and sewed the block together.
Some of my solids are very flimsy, but I will deal with that when I’m finishing up this quilt – 12 months from now. Right now I’m just happy to have found a project for these fabrics. The guild will end up putting together all of the sample blocks as a charity quilt.

Your block turned out really beautiful! And isn’t Birch great? Their shop is only 30-45 minutes from San Luis, but I don’t make it there nearly enough!!
I’ve never been to their shop. Will be at Road to California tomorrow and I’m sure I’ll see them there.
