Kicking off the Charity collection of blocks. This is our modified BOM game called “Block of the Season”. We are celebrating spring, and you may send your blocks to MarieF, anytime during the month of March, April and May.
The October 2016 “Double T Block” Traditional Block Gone Modern. Available on the MQG website, free for all MQG members.

The block cutting and assembly is found on page 5-7. You may choose to prepare a small block (6” finished), a classic block (12” finished) and/or a large block (24” finished). Different sizes will make the assembly fun!
