I've participated in 2 block of the month "clubs" at our LQS. The first one was a themed set called Whirlwind Romance and the second was one that addressed a different skill each time...hst, flying geese, Y seams, applique, curved seams, paper piecing, etc. I didn't get to do but the first 2 months on the second club, so I still don't know how to do Y seams or curved seams. I thought it was a great idea!
