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!
