October

November

and December is a confetti block.  There is lots of information on quilt backs and quilting, by hand, machine or just hand tying.  This is a great book for anyone wanting to hold a bee, make a quilt with friends or even to make a quilt alone.  But why quilt alone if you can quilt with friends?
