Block of the Month- Today's Traditions 41" x 53"

TODAY’S TRADITIONS  Block Of the Month
Finished Size: 41” x 53”
 Yesterday’s wonderful traditional quilt blocks meet today’s contemporary style in my Today’s Traditions quilt design.  This is a combination that’s meant to be.  Some of the traditional blocks in this quilt I’ve used over and over again in my designs of the last 42 years.  And some I’ve just made up based on the clean, geometric lines favored in contemporary quilting.
 
  I believe that this combination of the old and the new is one of the reasons why quilting has been loved by generations, and is still going strong.  By keeping the traditions we love and combining them with current trends in design and color we will ensure the love of quilting will continue well into our futures.  And I just have to say it – It’s a good thing!
  This sampler quilt is made up of twelve 12” blocks using only two colors.  I first started the quilt using high contrast colors, but I found that using a “soft contrast” was more pleasing and allowed the many different patterns to blend more easily.  Also, by using solid colors rather than prints all the focus is on the design alone.  I made the quilt in the photograph with my own Liberty Homestead Hand Dyed Sueded Cotton in Grey & Ivory (Shadow & Winter Wheat).  These are the fabrics you’ll receive in your kits.
   This is a 7 month program.  For each of the first 6 months you will receive my hand dyed cottons and instructions to make 2 blocks.  At the 7th month you’ll receive the fabric & instructions to finish your quilt, along with DMC embroidery floss and matching hand dyed buttons to add a touch of “whimsy” to this geometric quilt.
 
Your monthly kits will be mailed to you on the first of each month (or close to it!).  Your credit card will be charged $26.00 each month - $20.00 + $6.00 shipping.   You can also purchase the complete kit, each section packaged individually, for all you overachievers out there!
