Happy Saturday, happy October, and happy pattern release day!
Earlier this year, Benartex invited me to create a few block of the month designs with their upcoming fabric lines. I immediately keyed in on Pat Sloan's Sleepovers collection - it's got everything a quilter needs: great colors, a variety of values in each color, and different sized prints. Perfect for designing!
I chose these fabrics:
And used them to design the Sew a Garden BOM.
I chose the name because each row reminded me of the rows in a flower garden (although in my actual garden, there would be plenty of weeds, too, LOL!)
I really like row-by-row BOMs because finishing a full row each month feels like such an accomplishment! There are 9 rows in this quilt; the final month of the BOM is for assembly.
Each row features a different block or unit, so they're all different, and they also use a variety of techniques. Two fo the rows include curved piecing, but I've included applique directions as well.
We'll be working our way down the quilt, so Month 1 will be the top row.
When you purchase the pattern, you'll receive the cover with yardage info and Month 1. On the 1st of each month, you'll receive the next month's pattern.
You can purchase the pattern here.
I hope you'll join me for this fun BOM!
