February BOM now available

How about this year of Disappearing blocks for our BOM? Kudos to Elly H. for being the BOM dot com!!

As some of you may have noticed, we have only had 11 blocks and with the deadline fast approaching to show off our completed 2018 BOM quilts (or quilt tops, we're not picky), Elly wanted to get our 12th and final block up and available to you as quickly as possible. Yay!

So, here you go, our February block of the month, the Disappearing Friendship Star Pinwheel. Yay! And if you need any of the other BOM patterns, they're all available here.
