Several years ago, my go to quilt shop offered a kit for an affordable price of $2.99 each. The kit was a pattern and the fabric to make a monthly block that you could attach to a calendar. You had to spend at least $25 to get the kit at the reduced price.
I never made the calendar, but I managed to collect several of these kits and patterns over the time that they were offered. A few years ago, in my annual purge of my sewing room, I rediscovered these cute quilt blocks or kits.
Each year, the calendar offering changed sizes. It seems like one year it was a 10" square and perhaps the next year it was something else. But I had all these kits and wanted to use them.
My solution was to make them into a quilt that one of my grandkids would enjoy. If the block was not the right size, I managed to work through the logistics and came up with a fun quilt. I have at least one more of these quilts ready to be put together. The blocks are finished but they need the final sewing and quilting.
Note that each block is a seasonal block because it was intended to be used on a calendar.
