-1st of each month: theme will be pieced flower blocks.
that is, blocks named for flowers, or that resemble flowers (although they don't have to look exactly like any particular real flower).
block patterns can be either traditionally pieced or paper pieced.
block patterns must be available free and unrestricted to the general public. they should not require registration at another site or be scheduled to disappear into a "pay for it" inventory.

i'm looking for volunteers to sign up to select blocks for us. the first few months are filled, but the others are still open. (my pm inbox is a bit of a disaster. if you previously volunteered, please send me a new pm so i can "get it back together".)

to volunteer to choose for us, just send me a pm. :-)

remember ... you don't have to sign up for this. anybody who wants to make the blocks can play along.
