Quilt Block of the Month- May

For this swap we will have two partners and we will make each partner a 12 x 12 inch quilt block with the pattern for this month. Make sure you leave a quarter inch seam all the way around, so the square actually ends up being 12.5 x 12.5 inches.

This month's pattern is Treasure Chest. It is a little more intermediate than the last couple of blocks. If you are unsure of your sewing skill, the paper piecing template links on the pattern page will help.

Here is the pattern.

This pattern is exact for the size and dimensions, so no changing is necessary.

May's color is Emerald, so we will be using any combination of light, medium, dark greens, white, cream. No novelties or solids please.

QBOTM GUIDELINES

•If you join the QBOTM, you don't have to stay in it for each round. It's not a requirement that you join each month.

•Make sure the fabrics are all 100% cotton quilt fabrics and blocks are 12.5 by 12.5 inches when finished. Take care in sewing the scant 1/4"seams.

•If you flake on any of these swaps you will be banned from future QBOTM swaps and I will report you to the group founder. We don't want swappers like that in this group.

Please ask any and all questions.
