Introducing the ninth tutorial in our FREE! 2020 Nancy Zieman Productions Nancy’s Red Elegance Block of the Month Mystery Quilt Series! Starting this month, we’ll begin the block row assembly – featuring the JANUARY, MARCH, JULY & AUGUST Blocks! If you haven’t already, finish stitching your January through August blocks this month. Then, assemble three different block rows – as detailed below in today’s blog posting.

In January, Team Nancy Zieman introduced the NEW! 2020 Nancy Zieman Productions Nancy’s Red Elegance Block of the Month Mystery Quilt Series. Join the NEW! 2020 Nancy Zieman Productions Nancy’s Red Elegance Block of the Month Mystery Quilt Series, anytime, by viewing the Basic Supplies and Tools Listing in the January 1, 2020 NZP BoM20 Kick Off Blog Posting.

On the third Saturday of each month, we’ll feature one block design and/or tutorial, and we’ll be stitching one or more blocks of the same design each month. The blocks are created using Our NEW! Red Elegance Fabric Collection by Riley Blake and the Carefree Curves Trace ‘n Create Template Set by Nancy Zieman for Clover.

 

Follow along as we show step-by-step how to begin the block row assembly this month – featuring the JANUARY, MARCH, JULY & AUGUST Blocks!
