This year I decided to purchase Auntie Green’s Garden by Irene Blanck as a block of the month from Homestead Hearth.
I have never made a block of the month quilt where you get all of the fabrics picked out for you but I must say I enjoy getting the little package of fabric every month. I have added a couple of my stash fabrics for a little variety even tho it wasn’t necessary because they do send a nice selection.
This is Decembers block all stitched and now I am working on the wreath of leaves that goes around this center pot of flowers. The packages come around the middle of each month so I have couple of weeks to get my January block finished before another one arrives.
I have been watching the progress on another blog of someone making this quilt design. And have admired the blocks a lot. I have tried doing some block of month kits and would prefer to have the fabric all at once instead of monthly. But it is nice having a surprise in the mail each month.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and oh so tempting but 2014 looks like I need to be much more frugal so I will content myself with following your progress. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fabulous quilt and the colors are perfect. Will be fun to watch another one come together and you always do amazing work.:)
ReplyDeleteYour center looks gorgeous, I love this rendition of Aunty Green.
ReplyDeleteOh this is wonderful! I am looking forward to following your progress and wishing I had the dedication to do this one as well. I'll enjoy vicariously through you. :)
ReplyDeleteI do love this pattern - so nice to be following your progress. The centre looks just lovely!

Glad you are finding so much time to stitch! Another beautiful appliqué quilt!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting - I'm also making this quilt (but not as a BOM ) your centre looks gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration to unearth mine again.
ReplyDeleteYour center is lovely, have fun with step 2.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness - your applique projects are all stunning!! Enjoyed seeing you first block for the Biggs quilt. Just started the Di Ford Mystery BOM quilt from Homestead Hearth - never have done a BOM by mail before either.
ReplyDeleteIf you find an intervention group let me know!!!
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers and pot look amazing. That is a big project to take on but you've made a really good start.

ReplyDeleteIts wonderful to see progress on this quilt of mine. I so much enjoyed doing it and I LOVE seeing how much others enjoy doing it too.
ReplyDeleteI will be living in Virginia for about 3 months later this year - perhaps we can catch up somewhere.
