Welcome to the Sister's Ten Modern Block of the Month Club. This is a BOM Club for 2013. We are making old classic blocks in a modern and surprising way.
The Sisters' Ten Blocks.
This Block of the Month quilt has a theme centered around your favorite women. Be it a Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Sister or Friend. We all have a woman that we look up to and aspire to be like. These ten quilt blocks all honor those women, using their name as the block name. Sister's Choice, Grandmother's Frame. Quilts are a great way to commemorate these women.
- Starts January 2013 - join us at any time throughout the year.
- New Block tutorials post the 1st Friday of the month
- 10 Block Tutorials; November and December will be spent finishing the quilt
- Join our flickr group to interact with other BOMers and share your progress.

I'm ready! I just received my fabric in the mail. I have been looking for a quilt to use with Kim Schaefer's Flower Doodle line. I think this will do the trick!
ReplyDeleteI love the modern layout of the quilt so you can count me in! I have committed to quite a bit in 2013, but as a mom of 3 little girls, the theme really spoke to me. Now to decide what fabric to use. I have Lucky Penny myself, but I may go for a more scrappy look. Can't wait to get started!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to make sure I get in more modern quilting...love it but just don't do enough modern quilt sewing...thinking I may try this out!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt looks great! I really want to stick with a BOM this year, and I think this is just the one!
ReplyDeleteSign me up! I love the layout of this one....thinking my Juggling Summer FQ bundle will do just fine for this!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I might be a little behind in fabric selection, but I can't wait to get started. I love the idea behind this as the women in my life just recently inspired me to begin quilting.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I plan on using a little of my stash so I can make room to buy more. =o)
ReplyDeleteIs anybody else having trouble loading the PDF instructions that are available through PayPal? Have tried all afternoon, just won't load :(.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'd love to get a block of the month quilt pattern. I love quilting. In high school I made all of my friends personalized quilts. I'm still learning. I'm teaching myself.
