| Welcome
to the Block-of-the-Month contest web site. Unfortunately, we no
longer run the contest that used to be a monthly event. However,
as a tribute to those who faithfully participated over the past 10
years, I have kept this site posted with all the past blocks that have
been used along with their directions. We hope you enjoy the
patterns and can be inspired by the gallery of finished blocks that
have been made by fellow quilters. Blessings to All and Happy
Quilting!! |

A WORD ABOUT COPYRIGHTS
All graphics on this page are created by
me using a registered copy of Paint Shop Pro 4 by Jasc Software,
Inc. No graphics are copied straight from other
sites. The instructions are written in my words using general
instructions that are common to the quilting world. The blocks
themselves are often centuries old and can be found in many books and
quilt encyclopedias and even on your grandmother's bed. If the
person choosing the block for a month has seen a certain color scheme
for that block or quilt somewhere else, we will try our best to give
credit where credit is due and reference the
book or web-site the idea came from. Any further questions about
copyright issues, please email me at SewQuilty@juno.com .
Sue’s “Block of the Month” made it’s web debut in September of 1995. For two years, Sue kept track of the blocks made and sent the names to a previous winner to draw for the current winner. On Sue’s September 1997 page, she stated that she wanted to “retire” as the BOM hostess.
When Sue asked for someone to continue the “Block of the Month” pages, Pam volunteered, and has been hostessing this page for the past three years. Thank you Pam for your faithfulness and hard work.
My name is Deedee. My husband Jim (the computer wizard) and I “babysat” the Block-of-the-Month web page for Pam over the winter of 2001. In the spring, we became the permanent host & hostess for the site. If you are new to our world-wide community of quilters, Welcome, enjoy yourself, and share your creativity with us.
