Twleve Block of the Month:  Evensong - February 2009

The above quilt blocks are from the quilt named the "Singing Garden" and was designed by Barbara Youren McInnis.  Barbara graciously created the quilt for Popular Patchwork Magazine and has been a monthly challenge for hundreds of patchwork quilters. 
 
The twelve finished blocks will be placed on point and squared off using a Fossil Fern fabric in red for the corners.  From here they will be sewn together with a narrow sashing and a wider border which will be chosen at a later date.  Photos to follow. . . . . .
