One Block Wonders BOM........May Blooms Link Up

One Block Wonders BOM

May Blooms Quilt block was sponsored by

and I used these fantastic shades from the Cottom Supreme Solids line.....

and the result was this lovely version of my May Blooms Quilt pattern....

I love how the blocks came together to form these lovely flower blocks, but I wanted to add some length, so I came up with the idea to add some text to one of the borders...

and what else do you add to a May Blooms Quilt then April Showers....bring May flower
Just Perfect!

I don't always know when I start a quilt project who I'm making it for,

but usually somewhere along the building journey it all becomes very clear....

and I knew part way through that I was making this one

for my wonderful Mother-in-law! I was able to gift it to her on Mother's Day, and she loved it!!

So I've shared my version of the block in a few posts now.....

Now it's your turn to share ...

Remember you only need to have sewn one block to link up and qualify

for this months prize draw, of a FQ bundle, donated by RJR Fabrics

here's another link to this month's pattern...you still have time to make a block and link up....

The Link up will run from May 27 until midnight on June 2

Can't wait to see your block(s)/project!

May Blooms..... One Block Wonders BOM

May Blooms

One Block Wonders quilt block samples and quilts have seen an increase in production, yeah!!

Only to be halted by a lack of proper thread colours and border fabrics...oops....

RJR Cotton Supreme Solids

Not to worry.....the orders are in and hopefully by the time this post goes live, all will be back on track!

I am trying to get ahead so when the really good summer weather hits (oh, when is the really nice summer weather going to hit???), I won't fall behind and leave you all hanging, while I am hanging out poolside, ;)!

I may fall behind on the actual full version patterns, but I don't think anyone will mind that,

they will get posted as soon as possible, over in my Craftsy Pattern Shop!

Before we move on to May's block,

let's finish up a little business from April!

You can find a HST tutorial here if your need a refresher.

The full size pattern will be available soon in my Craftsy Pattern Shop, I'm sorry for the delay, the full patterns for the One Block Wonders BOM are usually available before the month ends, but an illness has slowed me down and I have fallen behind! Will update this post when the pattern is available! (Just a reminder the block pattern is free and available for the month it is posted and then is removed and a full quilt pattern is available for sale)
