March is full of National Days that will make cute quilt blocks for my National Days scrap quilt, so I'm back again with a music note quilt block tutorial, because it's National Marching Music Day!



For this day I drew up a simple scrappy 16th note!



I'm in awe of anyone who can be in a marching band and march all over the field in complicated formations while playing an instrument! My nephew was in his HS marching band. It took many hours of practice.

Here's how this simple block goes together.
