QB Block-of-the-Month, July 2013 - Blackford's Beauty - Directions & Discussion
#11
Welcome to quilting and welcome to the board. This block is one of 7 so far. We won't know what the quilt looks like until December when we get our last block. But this is an excellent way to do a quilt. You can go back and look for the blocks of the month starting in January. You can catch up through out the year. We aren't in a hurry and it's a super way to learn different techniques. And by all means, if you have a question, just ask. I can't believe all I've learned from this board. So just jump in. Most of the blocks have the directions but no tutorials. But if you need a tutorial, do a search and I'm sure someone at some time did a tut on just about everything. Have fun, and post your pictures when you finish.

Here is how I decided what to use in mine. I found acute little fabric that was a white background, with black and yellow little daisies. So I got a yard of that because I knew I wanted more than three colors in my blocks. So I got fat quarters of black and white, white and black, a couple yellow print on print, as I got into a couple blocks, I added a period green, so got a couple fat quarters with the green and black and white. I didn't add them all at once, since you are doing one block a month, although if you are going to catch up with us, you may need to. What is left over is your stash.
Just start slow, and keep building. You can always PM me if you want to. I'm home most of the time.
