It's the beginning of June, which means we've reached the halfway point of Laurel Ridge, our 2025 Block Of the Month designed by Lynn Wilder. We released the patterns for this month a few days early, so some of you have already gotten a head start. But if you need a little direction on how to begin, Barbara Black is here to help you out with what lies ahead. She says, "This month Appliqué returns--with the large spray of flowers and leaves.There are 8 of these blocks, and each is 5" x 7.5" FINISHED." Barbara has chosen to not include appliqué in her version of the BOM, but has written plenty about it to help guide you where to go.
