Barbara Bennett donated The Secret Lives of Color to our library. Pat Sloan is doing a set of YouTube videos along with this book. Here are the instructions for the block she is using.  

March 2022 meeting program links:

Moose Block pattern:* Make as many blocks as you wish, bring them to the MCQA June meeting, and we’ll hold a drawing for all the blocks! *Be sure to print the pattern at 100%, do not “scale” or “fit to page”. Please use blue for sky, green for grass, and brown for the moose. See this picture of the finished block, and this picture of the finished quilt. Are you new to paper piecing or just need a refresher? Check out this YouTube tutorial.
