I used to do the block of the month with my LQS and had a blast. We had about 12 people to start and only 6 finished on time and shared quilts.......the borders made each different so they weren't entirely cloned but we sure had a lot of fun doing them. I like the ones in the spring and summer because it is easier for me to get out without having to fight the elements. But I just do my own at home now......
