A couple of months ago, I saw a block of the month program at Homestead Hearth for Lori Smith's Golden Memories quilt. I'd had the pattern for months and loved it, but the thought of making all those fabric choices was daunting. Here was the perfect solution for me! The program was offered in two fabric choices - Kansas Troubles type fabrics or 1800s prints. Since I've developed a recent love of all things reproduction, I chose the 1800s option. After waiting impatiently, I got my first kit with the first 3 blocks on Saturday.
As you can see, I was so excited, I made all 3 blocks right away. I love the fabric choices (even some Jo Morton fabrics!!!), everything was labeled clearly and the pieces were generous enough to be able to square up before cutting for the blocks. I am very happy and impressed with this project, and can't wait to receive my second shipment!!
I love Homestead Hearth and their Special Programs (BOMs) - they have their act together. I've done several in the past, took a break and just recently signed up for two more. I'm anxiously waiting for the first one.
ReplyDeleteYours is going to be beautiful; easy to see why you are excited. Enjoy!
As usual, your work is beautiful! I really love those scrappy different backgrounds in each block.
ReplyDeleteThose 1800 fabrics are perfect, the colors are very calming. The quilt looks like a challenge, but well worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteI think those fabrics are terrific! It's going to be a beautiful quilt. It always amazes me how some repro's look rather modern - what's old is new again???
ReplyDeleteYour quilt blocks are beautiful, Lisa! I can see why you're so excited about doing this BOM - I would be, too! Their fabric choices are awesome! I think you are, too, by the way!!
ReplyDeleteFun blocks as always -- love what you've been up to since I had a chance to check in. Your challenge blocks are great and love the boms. You sure have been busy!
