Echo BOM Month 3 Blocks…Blocks…Blocks!

Block of the Month Program· finished quilts· work in progress

2 Apr

Echo BOM Month 3 blocks are bouncing off the sewing room walls and into our community posts. We gathered up the photos so you can see all the quilts, blocks and works in progress in the slideshow below. Sqeeeeeeee to the inth degree!

Month 3 is like a Wednesday in the work week. By this time in the BOM, you’re feeling less like a newbie and more like a piecing pro. You are officially over the hump and you’ve got this!

SOLSTICE TA DA MOments

We’ve got quilt finishes, top finishes and blocks…blocks…blocks.

First, let’s give out some hollers to our quilt finishers! Solstice BOM has been a popular make among members, as evidenced by the slew of finishes this month.

Heather O. had other plans for her quilt but her husband liked it so much that it’s staying. She used the Summer colorway for her Solstice. Look closely at the wavy spiral quilting on the back – so beautifully done. Congratulations on your big TA DA MOMENT Heather!

Patricia H. made her quilt for her son. She said that she enjoyed learning new techniques and is looking forward to making another one. Patricia used a one-color palette and straight line quilting to emphasize the piecing. Stunning!

It’s your big TA DA MOMENT, Patricia! Always one to cheer others on in the group, we’re celebrating you today. Congratulations!

Shanda D. finished her Solstice with the spicy colorway with magenta, coral, and pinks. Fantastic finish! Check out the pantograph quilting – a beautiful choice! It’s your BIG TA DA MOMENT, Shanda and you did it! Congratulations!

AuRORA and STARGAZER FINISHES

Kathleen P. used straight line quilting that emphasized the diagonal directions for a beautiful effect. She mastered curved piecing in Month 8 (to her relief!) and posted “FINALLY FINISHED”. Congratulations on your big TA DA MOMENT, Kathleen! You did it!

Lori B. made Stargazer her own by using an analogous color palette with pink, red and purple. You did it and it’s beautiful! Congratulations, Lori!

Mark your calendars... I am revealing a BRAND-NEW Mark your calendars... I am revealing a BRAND-NEW block of the month design on May 1st! 🗓️ ✨

Yes, you read that right! 🙌

I have been working behind the scenes on ANOTHER block of the month pattern, and you’ll finally be able to see it on May 1st! 

And get excited, because this one is completely new and unlike any I have ever released before. I think you’re going to love it. 🤭

👉 Turn on post notifications so you don’t miss the reveal! ✨

I’ve just recently got all of these quilts back fr I’ve just recently got all of these quilts back from the quilter!!!! 😍

I think as quilters, we sometimes get really wrapp I think as quilters, we sometimes get really wrapped up in a project or wanting to finish by a certain deadline, that we forget to just play. 🙌

Triangle blocks are especially fun for playing with! 

Because the same exact blocks can look completely different depending on how you arrange them.

All of a sudden, you’re not just following a pattern anymore, you’re creating something unique. 🪄

And I think that’s where a lot of the joy in quilting lives.

Not in getting it “right” or making it perfect, but in letting yourself be curious. 

Letting yourself try something, change it, try something else, and be a little playful instead of precise.

Some of my favorite quilts didn’t come from a perfectly planned layout… 👇

They came from standing at the wall, thinking, “Wait… what if I try it like this instead?” 👀

So if you have a few triangle blocks sitting nearby, take a little time to play with them and see what kind of pattern they end up in. 

Comment ‘TRIANGLE’ if you want to take my free class where I teach you how to make a modern triangle, and give you a block pattern to start sewing. 💕

This time of year in the sewing room is always so This time of year in the sewing room is always so lovely. 

We FINALLY get to have the windows open, the world outside is getting colorful again, and the extra daylight is a big bonus. 

This is my recipe for a PERFECT April sewing day...

✨ Self care: plan meals/snacks for eating right & getting your exercise (booooooo! I know, I know.) Maybe a fun wee treat tho!?

✨ Entertainment: if it’s just you, get your show/ sporting event/ audible, etc. Or if you’re with your quilty buds, you know what to do! Sew, gab, laugh!

✨ Something you’re excited to sew: latest bingeable project at the ready!? Latest fabric stack that arrived in the post? Or...finally get that WIP d.u.n!

✨ Essential responsibilities taken care of: feed the dog, respond to that time-sensitive email, dinner for the fam? Take care of what you must get done so you can check out more completely.

Finally, set a timer for your hard stop time.

I set my alarm for when I need to pick up my kiddos from school. That way, I can get carried away by my creativity and indulge in “me” time!

Shut the laptop, check out, it’s sew time! 🧵 Everything else on your to-do list can wait. It is time for you!

What are you working on for a perfect April sewing day? ⬇️

If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s exactly what I’d do: ⬇️

👉 Find a community of quilters to connect with, learn from, and grow with. People who cheer you on, celebrate your blocks, and make you want to keep going!!! 

👉 Make it easier on yourself with freezer paper piecing. This technique completely changed my life. I wanted to give up on quilting altogether at one point before I found freezer paper piecing. 

It’s not that you don’t finish quilts…

It’s that you don’t have the right support or the right process yet. 🧵✨ Comment ‘FREE’ to take my free class, learn the freezer paper piecing technique, and get invited to join an amazing community. 💕

One stitch at a time!!! 🪡 Sometimes, a few hours One stitch at a time!!! 🪡

Sometimes, a few hours (or days) in the sewing room just makes it all alright. 🙌

Who agrees? ⬇️
