The Traverse Block of the Month, is a take on traditional row by row quilts, but with a decidedly modern look and a brilliant display of colors. Each row demonstrates a wide range of techniques that will build the skills of novice quilters and be a fun play day for the experts. Techniques include strip piecing, curves and a new way to paper piece! This quilt is made up of 10 different blocks and sashing strips, both pieced into 72" (finished width) rows.
