Quilting Angels - January Block of the Month

Hi All!

January Block of the Month - Quilts of Valor and Quilt for Kids

Do you want to participate but don’t have a lot of spare time? Create blocks using 100% cotton fabric at home and drop them off or mail them to us.

Our January Block is a simple Log Cabin Block. You can create either a soldier block or one for a child with cancer.

For soldiers, please try and incorporate red, white and blue in the pattern. You can add in other complementary colors such as green and gold if you want.

Children’s quilts can made using novelty fabric or any other type of 100% cotton fabrics. Most kids are between the ages of 4 through 18. So you can really choose any kind of fabric.

Please use 100% cotton fabric, pre-washed.
The finished square will be 12 ½”. Start with a 3 ½” center square. Cut strips 2“wide. Use ¼” seams.
For best results, press seams as you go along and check the block for accuracy along the way.

You can either drop off blocks at:
Mother Seton Parish
19951 Father Hurley Blvd.
Germantown MD 20874

Or you can mail blocks to in a plastic lunch bag (it fits in a #10 envelope!):

Kathy Thorne
PO Box 335
Boyds, MD 20841-0335

Quilt On!
