Sew Sweet Simplicity Free Block of the Month

During one of my usual Instagram stalking sessions, I came across this fantastic looking Block of the Month (BOM). For those of you unfamiliar with a BOM, each month you receive a pattern for a block that will make up a complete quilt. It's a fantastic way to gradually piece together a quilt and learn new skills, without becoming overwhelmed with information.


Did you see the part that said FREE?

The blocks are gorgeous and we are assured they look more complicated than they really are. My favourite thing about quilting!

I love that it's a bit of a 'choose your own adventure' with piecing, applique or hand embroidery. The little learner in me is keen to see if I can try all three techniques. What a great learning experience that will be!

So who's keen? Comment below if you will be joining me on this awesome adventure and don't forget to head on over to Sew Sweet Simplicity Free Block of the Month to read all the details and sign up.

  3. Okay I've signed up but it looks way more complicated than I'm used to! Guess there is no better way to push myself and extend my skills!

    1. That's the attitude!!! I find, if you follow the instructions and ask questions when needed, you're always capable of a lot more than you first think ;)

    1. Oh no. I hope you have it sorted soon.
      Good new though. I don't think the BOM starts until towards the end of the month so you haven't missed anything yet :D
