BUTTERFLIES AND PATCHWORK

1 BUTTERFLIES AND PATCHWORK WELCOME to our 2017 Quilter s Quest Block of the Month! This year we are doing it a little bit differently. You will receive all clues and directions for completion BEFORE QQ 2017 begins. The blocks used are all 9 squares. This project can be completed as a lap quilt, table runner, bed runner, or wall hanging. You could use the blocks individually and turn them into a tote, pillows, placemats, etc. Quilter s Quest chose to use black and white for our sample and added ten solid colors as accents, but your blocks could certainly be created in any color way.
