Hello and welcome to Thomas Quilt BOM for 2009

Hello and welcome to Thomas Sewing Center Block of the Month for 2009. We are doing another Marti Michell pattern this year. I will be taking pictures each month and posting them here. I will try to take a picture of the front and back of the blocks and post anything that is important about the block. If you need help with the block, you can ask questions here. This is a 12 month quilt and requires Marti Michell templates sets A, B and D. More info about the quilt will be given as more info is made available to me. The first block was $5.00 and was available Saturday, April 11th. The following blocks will be free of charge if you bring and show your blocks the 2nd Saturday of each month at the store from 10:00-12:00. If you do not pick up your block at that time, the next block will be $5.00. These rules will be enforced this year.

Here is the first block. I did not get a copy of the back of the block this time but will try really hard to get this for you next month.







This is the template for the plaid fabric around the center. If you click on the picture you will see that Helen marked her template so she could line up her stripes better. You will have enough fabric in your package to fussy cut the plaid.




Good luck and have fun with the block. If you need help or have any suggestions, leave a comment. Or if you just feel friendly, leave a comment and let me know how you like this blog....til next month....
