2009 BOM, Stories from the Park
home
This year's block of the month quilt will be "Stories from the Park".
The blocks will be 12" x 12" finished size. You need to
cut the background fabric 13" x 13". After you finish the
applique part, trim the block to 12.5" x 12.5". Download the
BOM pattern and print it on a 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. Center
the pattern on a 13" x 13" background fabric to fit each applique piece
to the background.
It's up to you as to how you finish your quilt. You may add inner
borders between blocks if you wish. I use bright colors and 100%
cotton flannel, pre-washed. I recommend joining all 12 blocks
then finishing the quilt with a 5"outer border consisting of two inches
of purple and three inches of outermost back flannel. In
this manner, the finished quilt will be 50" x
62".
I hope your enjoy the Stories from the Park quilt! Any questions please e-mail me.
April Block, Massasauga Rattlesnake
The Massasauga Rattlesnake is a pit viper rattlesnake common in most
parts of the USA, and some parts of Canada. It is known by dozens
of different names, but only one in Michigan, where it is called the
Michigan Rattler, the only venomous snake in that state. Bites
from this snake are rare, but have been known to occur when the victim
steps on the snake. Proper treatment will save the victim,
which is critical in the case of a small child.
