Sisters' Ten Blocks

Sisters Ten BOM 1

Welcome to the Sister's Ten Modern Block of the Month Club.  This is a BOM Club for 2013.  We are making old classic blocks in a modern and surprising way.

The Sisters' Ten Blocks.

This Block of the Month quilt has a theme centered around your favorite women.  Be it a Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Sister or Friend.  We all have a woman that we look up to and aspire to be like.  These ten quilt blocks all honor those women, using their name as the block name.  Sister's Choice, Grandmother's Frame.  Quilts are a great way to commemorate these women.
