We're making small quilt blocks in 2015 and we've dubbed them QM Bitty Blocks. On the first Monday of each month we'll reveal a new free quilt block pattern. Most of our staff members are making Bitty Blocks, so there will be lots of inspiration. On this page you'll find quick links to all of the patterns and the blog posts.
