BLOCK OF THE MONTH

Our Program Chair is leading the Block of the Month Project entitled “Nearly Insane”.  Nancy advises that this Quilt, made up of 98 blocks, is a reproduction of Salinda Rupp’s masterpiece from the mid-1860’s.  The collection of blocks share many traditional patterns and many that combine elements to make completely unique blocks. Piecing and foundation paper piecing are the predominant method of construction.
