Welcome to the second block of the Sisters' Ten Modern Block of the Month Club! This month's block is a bit simpler for the short month and is a variation on the Susannah block. Do you have a Sue, Susie, Susan or Susannah in your life? This block has a diamond in a square at the center and a windmill-like appearance.
