Forever Green Quilts is offering a free block of the month quilt in 2009! This cute house quilt is called "Come Over to My House" and was designed by Alecia Hunter with instructions by Joanna Norman. It is a wall-hanging sized quilt, measuring 40" x 46".

I will offer one block each month in Jan-Dec 2009. In December 2009, I will also provide instructions for finishing the quilt. Each new block will be posted on the 15th of the month and will be available for 2 months. If you miss a block during the 2 month window that it is available for free, you can purchase it for a small fee.
