Every year I am asked what the yardage requirements are for the new BOM. Most of the time I give sketchy (but generous) fabric lists, usually because I change things throughout the year as I post new blocks and finalize all the yardages and fabrics when I post the border patterns.
Well, after 10 years of doing block of the month patterns, I got 'er figured out. At last! Check out the 2018 BOM Page on my blog for the complete list. I am using Toscana textures and blenders by Northcott for my sample. I will also be making another version in batiks from kits offered again from www.ConnectTheBlocks.com.
Kits will be available on a monthly subscription from ConnectTheBlocks.com. The kit includes all first quality gorgeous batik fabrics for the top, border and binding, and includes postage. You will be able to go to ConnectTheBlocks.com to sign up for the monthly kits very soon. Kits will ship in February.
Several shops have contacted me about carrying fabric for this pattern, so check with your local quilt shop to see if they are carrying Toscana or if they are putting together other fabric packs for this quilt. I will list the names of the shops I know are promoting the BOM and have fabric set aside for it.
Happy Sewing!

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't find where to print out the Fabric Chart. I've tried everything, what am I missing? Thanks ;o)
ReplyDeleteAfter you click on the 2018 BOM tab, you will see below the fabric requirements a statement that says click HERE to download fabric requirements. Click on the hyperlink "HERE" & it will download. If it doesn't open up, you may have to check your download file on your pc to locate it. Hope this helps.
DeleteThank you so much...I finally got it.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteAs a first time quilt crafter, I have thought about purchasing the BOM kit for this quilt, but I'm not sure of the dimensions. I'm thinking that I can make adjustments to the size, if I make my own quilt without the kit.
Hi Kathleen, as a first time quilter I would suggest you follow the pattern. Adjusting block size is a little difficult with applique. Certainly do-able, but if you are just learning you don't want to make things more difficult for yourself. The size of the completed quilt is 62 x 78. My suggestions would be to make additional block, if you want a larger quilt.
