Some Tutorials

Just ran across this fun and easy block called, LynnBobSquarePants.  It's a funny name, but a neat block made from just squares and half square triangles.  A different color version of it can be found here.  While you are at these two blocks take some time and check out the other tutorials that they offer.  I especially liked the tutorial for Half Rectangle Triangles at the My Fabric Obsession.  Also lots of fun stuff at Lily's Quilts.
There is another great tutorial for HRT's (half rectangle triangles) at Buttons and Butterflies.  Also some ideas of ways to use them.
I did add a couple block of the month links on our  BOM page, so check those out.  If you see any out there, let me know and I will get them on the blog.

A Couple BOM's for 2018

If you are thinking of doing a BOM starting in January, Pat Sloan is starting one called Let's Go Camping.  She usually has some fun patterns, so maybe it is time to begin a fun mystery quilt.  She does have her supply list already, so go check it out.
Also Australian quilter, Ester Aliu will be announcing her Free Block of the month soon.   So watch for that. I know that some of you did her BOM, Red Delicious a few years ago.  She has a wonderful blog as well, with lots of wonderful things.  Plan to spend some time exploring her blog.
If you find any other free BOM's, please let me know and we can get them on the blog.
