Block of the Month
Join our BOM activities and create beautiful quilt blocks while learning new techniques! Each month we will feature a unique block design, perfect for quilters of all skill levels.
​
BOM plans for 2025
We are featuring block patterns inspired by the history of slavery. The blocks have no historical connection to slave-made quilts; however, they tell stories and are symbolic for events happening during slavery.
Each block will reflect a homespun look using earth tone colors, ethnic fabrics, or any fabric print of your choice.
NTQG will supply you with the instructions and a brief history that inspired the block patterns. We hope you will participate and create your own interpretation of each block.
Keep your monthly blocks to eventually make a beautiful lap or bed quilt.
