Today is the first day of the Observatory 2021 Block of the Month. Everyone who has subscribed will receive an email with a link to download the January Block pattern. If you haven’t subscribed yet but would like to, please join in at any time. I have put together a short series of emails that you will start to receive once you join, that talk about fabric choices, the Facebook group, suggestions on how to stay organized, etc.
The blocks are oversized—16-1/2’’ x 16-1/2’’—and fun to sew!
This beginner-friendly sampler pattern features 12 different block designs and is suitable for all skill levels.
