I love quilts that look like a puzzle to the untrained eye. 

• Blocks that don’t necessarily show where they start and end. 
• Settings that are not the traditional sashing and cornerstone layouts.

We are on Month 3. Make the blocks featured or feel free to add or substitute blocks along the way if you want. While quilting is so therapeutic and following along takes the stress out of decision making, feel free to mix it up a bit to make it your own.

Shown below are some beautiful color options from some of the people sewing along. You are sure to be inspired.
