Half Log Cabin Blocks

For the next few months, members are asked to make Half Log Cabin blocks for baby quilts.  Members can make one block, a bunch of blocks, or even an entire quilt.  (Nine blocks will make a 36" square quilt without sashing.  Twelve blocks will make a 36" x 48" quilt more suitable for toddlers and older children.)  

Please make as many as you like.

See the Charity Page for more information on the block.
