As promised here is BLOCK #1 of our 2011 Block of the Month on our blog. It’s called January Jumble.

Deadline for submitting your block picture to webmaster@electricquilt.com for a chance to win is February 18, 2011 8am Eastern.

Sew the block and send your picture to webmaster@electricquilt.com. If you send in the picture, you get one entry for the contest to win a free Kaleidoscope Collection CD (add-on for EQ5, EQ6, or EQ7) in February. Each month we’ll have a new prize, so email in a picture of your quilt block to enter. (One entry per person per month.) Pictures will be added to this blog in a Finished Blocks post with your name. A winner will be chosen on February 18, 2011 for January’s block.

Don’t worry about sending a professional photograph. As long as it isn’t on too much of an angle and I can see the whole block and the image is over 400px, I can crop it for the blog.

New block patterns will be posted at the beginning of each month. (Sorry this one is late.)

If you would like to be notified when the new pattern is available, you can do any of the following:
