    Kona 2025 BOM

    This quilt top was from the Kona 2025 BOM. Each month was made using a charm pack of the Kona color of the month that complimented the wall calendar. The pattern called for a piano key border, but not as narrow as the one I had opted for. I had so many charms left over that I had to use more. Related Images:

    Cotton Cuts Mystery Quilt

    This quilt top comes from the Cotton Cuts Mystery Quilt. These came to me pre-cut. I honestly did not really like the project because I do find the cutting portion to by my most relaxing part of the quilt. I also did not like that I couldn’t starch the fabric and it made it a little more difficult to sew. The top, completed, is not that bad. A little busy for my tastes. I am sure that has more to do with the fabrics I chose than the actual pattern Thouhg I love a good mystery, I don’t think I will be participating in one of these again.. Related Images:

    Cali & Co Block of the Month

    Coriander Quilts had a free block of the month on her website that started in January. I participated and used her new (at the time) fabric line – Cali & Co. This is a little more busy that I typically like my quilts, but it still turned out ok. I did mess up on the stars. Instead of putting stars only in the cornerstones inside the quilt, I put stars at all the cornerstones. Oh well – a design choice. When doing the cut-of of the stich-and-flip corners of each block they produced a bonus block. I used mine to create a matching table runner: Related Images:

    Apple Blossom Road

    A while back, I had been a part of the Apple Blossom Road BOM program from Fig Tree Quilts. For some reason at month 11 I put this away and didn’t work on it again until now. I did change up the pattern a little bit – the year 20204 was supposed to be on the bottom. I knew I would never get it completed in the year – so maybe that was why I stopped. Joanna did offer on the facebook group a “5” for this year, but again I didn’t think I would finish it. I had toyed with the idea of doing my address numbers, but quickly decided against it. When I needed the bin that this quilt project was located in, I decided to finally get the top done and instead of the numbers, I winged it. Related Images:
