Now let's get to our fun little Bonus Project!  If you saved your flying geese trimmings, then you have all you need to make the blocks for this table runner!

This runner is so simple, but so pretty!  I alternated the red and blue triangles for my runner, but you could easily do a different layout with your blocks! 

I did a cute little quilting design in all the white triangles, and I love how it turned out! So simple, but it makes those print squares pop! :)

2018 Block of the Month!

Hi there!  We are starting our  Block of the Month for 2018 NEXT WEEK!!! 

Here are all the details:

I really loved designing this quilt-along!  I put a little bit of everything that I love in this quilt design.  Star blocks, chains, and there's a pinwheel in there too! :) 

Entire pattern for this quilt can be found on our new website HERE

Quilt is 60" x 60"

Details:

• This will be a 5 month long BOM - starting January and ending in May.  Schedule is below:

• January 9 
• January 30
• February 13
• February 27
• March 13
• April 10
• May 8
• May 29

• I will post a detailed step by step, illustrated instruction sheet for each block, that you can download on each post date. 
• Kits are available that include everything to piece the top and the binding.  **SOLD OUT**
• You will need to purchase the backing separately. (3 7/8 yards - HERE)
• There will be a "Bonus Mini Quilt" that will be made out of the extra pieces from this quilt! (Which will be posted on May 29th with a full tutorial.) More details on that in later posts! :) 
• Blocks finish at 13.5" x 13.5" 
• All blocks are traditionally pieced. 

Now that we went over all the details of the sew along - we can look at all the pretty pictures of this lovely quilt! 

When I started designing this block of the month, I didn't want to do a traditional sampler.  I wanted the design to have all sorts of blocks, but flow together nicely.   So that's when I came up with the idea to do star blocks!  All the star blocks are the same, but the center's of each block vary slightly.

I then added some chain blocks to bring everything together.  I love the look of chain quilts, and so I really wanted to add that design element into the quilt.

Instead of doing plain borders, I thought it would be nice to do a pieced border that adds movement to the quilt.  The flying geese go all around the quilt in a clockwise pattern - with star blocks in each corner.

For backing, we picked this lovely print that really ties in nicely to all the fabrics on the front!  You can purchase the backing HERE!    We also have the same print in the blue color way that would look just as lovely on the back!

Primrose Cottage Quilts did the binding and quilting on this quilt!  We love those fun swirls!  And the gingham binding just frames the quilt nicely!

Talk to you soon,
