2010-2011 Block of the Month -- “Tessellated Stars” Mystery Quilt!
July, 2011 - Block 12 of 12

This year’s Block of the Month series, presented by Ellen Nobles-Harris, began with the August, 2010 block. The series is similar to the 2009-2010 BOMs, in that each month’s block is the same except for color placement, and again we are not raffling the blocks - you keep the blocks you make.

Note: This page contains piecing instructions for the last block in the series, followed by finishing instructions.

If you are making the series and haven’t made any of the previous blocks, you will want to read through the GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS (downloadable here in .pdf format) before beginning the project. (Don't be intimidated by two pages of instructions - cutting instructions are given for a both a 9 " and 12" block size.) Select your fabrics as suggested and cut all your strips at once. The instructions are very detailed, so if you follow them carefully, your blocks will go together quickly and perfectly! (Note: There is no page 3 in this document.)

We hope you enjoyed making this mystery quilt! Next month Ellen will start us on a new adventure!
