A-B-C Challenge: O & P

Remember the A-B-C Challenge? It is still going strong and in the home stretch! Bring your ABC Blocks for May to the meeting. These blocks should start with O & P

Some examples of O blocks are:

1. Ohio Star gives good practice with quarter square triangles.
2. Old Maid's Puzzle creates some interesting secondary designs when a number of them are put together.
3. Ocean Wave from Around the Block

Some examples of P blocks are:

1. Pineapple - there are a lot of variations of this block, so look around for other that are more complex and less complex.
2. The Pinwheel block would be great with at least 3 fabrics. It would give a nice spinny effect.
3. Prairie Queen has a nice asymmetrical design 
4. Peace & Plenty - find it in Around the Block
