May Block of the Month

This months block will be totally up to you. That's right! A challenge within a challenge. Here's a hint to go on though.....Where are you from?

Ok, so this months block will be a state block. The state where you live. This way, your block-of-the-month quilt will be totally original. Unless, of course, you live in the same state as me or another friend you are doing this with. ;)

There are many websites you can search through. I just typed in "state quilt blocks" in my search bar and found a few to look over. Here's a couple to get you started:

Make sure when you find a block you've settled on, it will measure 12" finished. It would work out much better if they all match in size. ;) Now after searching the web, and you still can't find one that you like, make it personal. But most of all, have fun with it! It's YOUR art!
