May 2015 Block of the Month

Welcome back to the Quilt Addicts Anonymous Block of the Month. This month we will finish the center medallion of the quilt. I’m splitting the May tutorial into two parts.

Block a Day Challenge – February round up

February was a busy month for us in the Block a Day Challenge. We finished 380 blocks, 11 tops and 8 quilts. I’m really looking forward to see the finished quilts from the blocks you’re working on.
