October!

It's October! Pumpkin Spice, Halloween, falling leaves time of year.... all of my favorite things! I did a little decorating over the weekend. It was fun to put out the mums and spooky skeletons out on the front porch. I'm looking forward to cooler temperatures, but it looks like I'll have to wait a couple more days. This month there is no block.... I repeat.... no..... block. The free download this month is the layout for the quilt top, Next month will be the optional pieced border. If you're still working on the trees, that's ok too! I am also still working on blocks! I'm always a day late on working on my own quilt. I'm hoping to get all caught up on retreat this month. I have several projects going right now... I know I'm not alone! 

Quilt layout

I hope you have enjoyed this year's mystery BOM quilt. I'm starting to think about what we should do next year. If you have an idea.... leave me a comment! I would love to hear from you.

Fabric Requirements

Blue background fabric- 2 yards

white fabric (snowman faces) - 1/2 yard

green (trees) - 3/4 yard

pieced border - red- 3/4-yard, pink - 1/2-yard, light green- 1/2-yard, light blue- 3/4-yard

orange- snowman noses

scrappy hats- 10 plus fat quarters or a combination of fat quarters and fat eights in a variety of colors such as red, blue, yellow, pink, green, purple. 

Now let's get stitching! You can download the layout sheet on the website. Remember do not embellish with eyeballs or mouths on the snowmen if you are planning on using buttons. An easy cheat is to embroider eyes and mouths using your sewing machine if you have an embroidery machine. Those you can do before you sew together your blocks for the top if you would like.
