Quilt Etc. in Sandy stopped holding their first Saturday
block-of-the-month classes in spring of 2020. None of us ever imagined that in
the four subsequent years, they wouldn’t start them up again. But here we are. To
add insult to injury, the quilt shop called Mormon Handicraft inside the
Midvale Deseret Book disappeared when the Deseret Book moved to Cottonwood
Heights. I enjoyed block-of-the-month classes at both stores for many years,
and their absence has left a hole in my calendar and my heart. I’ve been trying
to fill the hole with Riley Blake Designs Block Challenge. I made a lovely
queen-sized quilt with their 2021 blocks (and some others) that was displayed at
the Thanksgiving Point Garden of Quilts. The 2022 top has been hand-quilted and
is almost done being bound. I’m still debating how to set the 2023 blocks, and
here are the first nine blocks from 2024.
