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.
