2026 BOM (Block of the Month)

This year's BOM honors one of our founding members Doris Krake. There will be 12 blocks, each measuring 12" x 12" finished.

Barbara Olinger will provide the patterns for 2 blocks each month May through October. Patterns are available here, on this page, only.

For each of the blocks, Barbara will also provide a copy of Doris Krake's own pattern, which was written for use with templates (pre-rotary cutter) and the block's history.
