THE CITY QUILTER'S BLOCK OF THE MONTH

NEW! BLOCK OF THE MONTH!
The latest block of the month from Marcus Brothers is "Amish with a Twist" and it is stunning. Done in jewel-like solids against a striking black background, this quilt is destined to become an heirloom. The project is designed to take you from the simplest of blocks, progressing each month into more difficult techniques. Starting in March and continuing through June, each month you will receive patterns and enough fabric to complete 3 blocks. In the fifth month, you will put it all together. You can choose to have your kit mailed to you every month or you can come in to pick it up. And when your top is done, we’ll give you a discount coupon for our longarm service to help make sure it gets finished.

Finished size is 88 3/8" X 105 1/2"

The cost is $35, plus $8.25 for optional shipping per month for 5 months. Kit includes more than enough fabric for the top and binding and all patterns.

Top 10 Reasons To Try A BOM (Block-of-the-Month) Project
(compliments mostly to Marcus Fabrics):

If you've never tried a block-of-the-month quilting project, this is a great time to consider one! BOM's are popular for lots of reasons. Here are some of those reason for those who need a little extra encouragement!

  • The project is broken down into smaller, more attainable goals, so you'll enjoy a feeling of accomplishment each month.

  • As a monthly program you can more easily budget a new project.

  • No stressing over fabric choices and figuring out yardage.   Just have fun sewing!

  • You'll enjoy the camaraderie of those with similar quilting interests.

  • You can avoid the stress of last-minute marathons sessions at your machine.

  • It's another excuse to visit us on a regular basis!

  • Many BOM quilts are designed with a variety of block styles, so you can master different ones and expand your overall quilting knowledge.

  • By working gradually, you'll be able to control the usual sewing room clutter when working on a project all at once.  Blocks & cut pieces can be stored in clean pizza boxes, plastic zipper bags, or other methods.

  • The month-to-month pace of the project allows you to immerse yourself in each section and focus on it differently than you would when you make an entire quilt at once.

  • The chances of ending up with yet another UFO are lessened because you can see your progress - a BOM quilt project has a beginning, a middle and foreseeable end!
