=>1st BOM - for March is the windmill block. Also called Pinwheel block.  http://www.edwardssoftware.com/quilts/images/WindmillBlackL.jpg. First work out the size of the quilt you will be making with the BOM and then plan this block. Instructions to make it are on the blog. Pics of completed blocks are to be posted in the FB album.

Each member chooses a month and sends out fabric with design instructions to the other 11 members for making a block each which have to be mailed back to the original member on completion. Restricted to Indian residents only. Update - months have been allocated,.. Madhu, of April month, will soon be sending out fabric.
