More details about our Block of the Month:
- This is a Quillow project made up of 13 star blocks. A Quillow is a quilt with a built‑in pocket. When the quilt is folded up, it tucks into that pocket for use as a cushion.
- Your finished quilt will measure 48" x 60"
- Each month Jeanette will guide you through the next block, building towards the finished quillow. A new tutorial will be released every month (approx end of month).
- The project is suitable for confident beginners with some quilting experience and is Fat Quarter friendly. You can choose your own fabrics or use one of our kits. It would also be perfect as a scrappy quilt. The choice is yours! As ever, have fun and get creative.
