2009 BOM, Stories from the Park
home
This year's block of the month quilt will be "Stories from the Park".
The blocks will be 12" x 12" finished size. You need to
cut the background fabric 13" x 13". After you finish the
applique part, trim the block to 12.5" x 12.5". Download the
BOM pattern and print it on a 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. Center
the pattern on a 13" x 13" background fabric to fit each appliue piece
to the background.
It's up to you as to how you finish your quilt. You may add inner
borders between blocks if you wish. I use bright colors and 100%
cotton flannel, pre-washed. I reccomend joining all 12 blocks
then finishing the quilt with a 5"outer border consisting of two inches
of purple and three inches of outermost back flannel. In
this manner, the finished quilt will be 50" x
62".
I hope your enjoy the Stories from the Park quilt! Any questions please e-mail me.
