Your 'Choose Joy' Block of the Month experience starts the moment you sign in to the course. You will be able to access the videos and instructions for Month 1. Thirty days later (after your first sign-in), you will be able to access Month 2, and thirty days after that you will have Month 3... and so on until you are done with the quilt top! Work at your own pace - fast or slow.
This beautiful quilt with classic blocks used in a fresh modern way finishes at approximately 60’’ x 60’’ so it’s perfect as a throw quilt or wall hanging. It will spread joy wherever you use it.

This online BOM program is perfect for beginners (because I teach each step in a video) or for experienced quilters looking to make a fun and easy quilt!
“I just watched the videos for the Art Square Block, and I must say they are the best-produced of any I've seen. Very professional and I especially like that each step is a separate video. Thank you!”
“I am looking forward to this Quilt. Right now, 3 1/2 years into my "Dance with Cancer" I choose Joy every day, so this is perfect for me!”
“I made a bad face when I first heard this block had a partial seam! No, I've never even tried one...it just sounded hard. I've watched all the way through the videos and I understand! This isn't going to be hard at all. Thanks, Caroline!”
