Inspiration for this project came from this Quilting Arts article
Choose 5 letters and assign a letter to a month in the chart below. You can make any words or as many letters as you like; just try a different technique each month.
5 letter words: maker, quilt, craft, travel, cabin, happy, smile, peace, chill, cheer, hello, sleep, mommy, daddy, nanny, your name, kid’s name.
Letter shapes and styles can be upper and/or lower case, same or different fonts.
Suggested block size is 8-inches square. You can vary sizes and shapes if you wish.
Blocks can be made into a banner or used as mug rugs/coasters. Bring your ideas to each meeting!
We have been compiling inspiration and links to tutorials for the techniques below in sections on this Pinterest Board. We are constantly adding more so check it often. If you find a great tutorial or idea, send us the link so we can add it to the collection.
