Row by Row:  Each month at the Business Meeting, Therese will demonstrate one of the blocks of the quilt.   The object is to become proficient in making the blocks, learning new techniques and having a quilt when the year is done!  You can download the instructions from the Download page.  ( June: Magic Nine Patch; July: Half Square Triangle; August: Log Cabin; September: Snail's Trail; October:  Ribbon Star; November: Half Horizontal Rectangles; December:  Star Window; January:  Arkansas Cross Roads; February: Hearts) Art Bra for GSQA Quilt Show in April Alzheimer's Quilt Initiative Pink Hearts Quilt Civil War blocks:  Each month we will include the links to four of Barbara Brackman’s Civil War blocks of the week.  Solveig and Gloria are the “support” group for questions about technique, etc.  Again, you can do all or none.  The purpose of this project is to learn “old” patterns, replicate them or update them as you like AND learn about the history of America in the times before and during the War Between the States/Civil War/War of Northern Aggression.             FOR April 2012:                                                                                                  41 Red, White & Blue      42 H is for Hospital    43 Right Hand of Friendship             44 Union
