EIGHT GOOD REASONS TO PARTICIPATE IN A BLOCK OF THE MONTH PROJECT


If you've never tried a block-of-the-month quilting project, this is a great time to consider one!  BOM's, as they're called, are popular for lots of reasons, and we've listed them here for those who need a little extra encouragement!
  • No reason to search and search for just the right fabrics - those choices are already made for you and the fabrics or wools are shipped to you each month.
  • The project is broken down into smaller, more attainable goals, so you'll enjoy a feeling of accomplishment each month.
  • We offer pay-as-you-go pricing, so you can more easily budget for a major creative project.
  • You can avoid the stress of last-minute marathons sessions at your machine or hand sewing.
  • Many BOM quilts are designed with a variety of block styles, so you can master different ones and expand your overall quilting knowledge.
  • Wool appliqué allows you to learn many different embroidery stitches.
  • By working gradually, you'll be able to control the usual sewing room clutter when working on a project all at once.  Project pieces can be stored in clean pizza boxes, plastic zipper bags, or other methods.
  • The month-to-month pace of the project allows you to immerse yourself in each section and focus on it differently than you would when you make the entire project at once.
  • The chances of ending up with yet another UFO are lessened because you can see your progress - a BOM  project has a beginning, a middle and foreseeable end!
  • Auntie Ju's usually has either a wool project and/or a quilt offered as a Block of the Month - we hope at least one will suit your style and your schedule!
