A Block of the Month Row Quilt, designed and written by Susan Miller of the Raincross Quilt Guild • Riverside, California. Jeri Read has made all of the samples you see below. Thank you to both!
The final quilt will measure 36” by 52” before optional borders. You will need ½ yard for sashing around your blocks. Use fat quarters, scraps, or whatever you choose. We will be creating a row each month from September through June. Then you will have the summer (July and August) for borders, quilting, and binding your quilt.

Please make three, but don’t sew them together. (See Susan’s instructions.)
