    Yes!!
    I will have fun resizing it to a 6 inch block. This block is also called Monkey Wrench and has been on my try a block list.

    I gather from checking out the site, that these months are every other month and not every month, correct?

    do you mean the site for the directions or do you mean our QB Block of the Month?

    ours will be every month. links to different sites that have free block patterns. my hope is that i'll find a different site every month.
    i try to find sites that are new to me and that have what i think would be helpful instructions - with no requirement to sign up for anything or pay for anything.

    I was able to print a 6 inch template on some doodle paper. I figure I will make a 4 patch then do paper piecing to make this one. Since I have only seen 12.5 patterns.

    I've got so much happening this month, it'll be another week before I can even think about making my snail trail

    I’ve made mine, but I notice there’s not a thread for March pictures yet. Should I wait until one is made, or should I make one myself, or what?

    Start one, that is what I did in February, but I haven’t made mine yet for March.
