April Block: Cactus Block

In 2017, we will be making 8 inch (finished size) blocks. This month’s block is the traditional Cactus Pot block.

Guidelines and the link to the block directions are in this post:

The maximum number of blocks you can make and enter for chances in the drawing this month is the usual NINE blocks. If you make multiple blocks … you can use the same fabrics in multiple blocks as long as each three-fabric combination is unique.

The target set size for our winners will be 48 blocks.

Although there will be no Quilt-Along in 2017, I have a quilt idea that I think is pretty interesting (and might be used for a sampler quilt). Check out The 3 Bears – A Fill-in-the-Blocks Quilt Pattern.
