Participants may choose to attend one class, many classes or all twelve. Those choosing to make all 12 quilt squares will have a complete "calendar quilt" at the end of the year. Class registration is required each month. (If registering a child, please register only your child aged 9-18 so we can purchase the correct amount of materials.
