The #QuiltBlockMania is a BOM with the participation of several quilt pattern designers. Each month you will get a color scheme and several 12" x 12" free block patterns from different designers. The same color scheme, size and theme will allow you to easily assemble the various blocks into a quilt.
Color Scheme
This analog color scheme spreads over more than half of the color wheel. Nature's ingenious creation, complex and simple at the same time.
