The basic polaroid block construction is well
documented on the internet but I like this tutorial
here
I got this picture from there.
I have written some simple

I have written some simple
directions, should anyone want to make their own
Polaroid Calendar.
Each Polaroid block is surrounded by 2" strips,
two 4" long for each side and
two 6.5" long for the top and bottom.
Trim each one to a 5" square,
angling your ruler for some if you like.
Piece them together in pairs,
Add a 1" by 9.5" strip to the top,
And a 1" by 10" strip to either side.
Add a 1.5" by 10.5" strip to the main body of the
calendar,
Embroider the chosen month onto a
white 2.5" by 10.5" strip,
Add this strip, followed by the last one,
cut at 2.5" by 10.5"
The final dimensions should be 10.5" by 15".
Quilt as desired and bind with a matching binding!
If you have the stamina, or are mad like me,
make twelve-

Hello, thank you for sharing this tutorial with us. I'd like to try the 4 seasons for 2015. Beatrice (from France).
Sorry, what is the size of the polaroid square itself? I can't seem to find it. Thanks.
i am using your idea for my 2015 inspiration. . . if i just make one each month by the end of the year i will be overjoyed. . . do not know how to embroider but will figure something out i hope. . . thank you
They look great, but what do you do with them when they are finished?
