Before starting this lesson, be sure to review The Basics located HERE. Do not do anything with your materials until you have viewed the instruction in the Basics section.

Introduction

Welcome to the West Of Baltimore Block Of The Month

The West of Baltimore quilt is a wonderful applique sampler of heirloom blocks. If it looks familiar, it might be because it was featured in the “Keepsake Quilting” catalog for two years as a block of the month kit. The quilt was inspired by antique applique quilts and has several unique blocks.

With Annie’s expert teaching techniques YOU can benefit from her hands-on approach to create your own family heirloom, one block at a time.
