The Quiltessential Co. Block of the Month Club runs from January through December. Each year there is a different theme and a different ruler. Ingrid designs 12 blocks and by the end of the year participants have 12 blocks to use in a quilt, a wall hanging, a runner, place mats or whatever other project might be imagined. Out of town? We will mail the blocks to you? Want to pay for the whole year and just pick up when convenient? We do that too 2025 is underway. If you wish to sign up, you can sign up in December for 2026!
