We will be doing the Block of the Month a little differently this year. There are so many great medallion quilts out there these days and we thought it would be fun to join in on that. We will start with a center block for January and add a border each month through September. For October and November, we’ll give a little more info, ideas, and tips on how to turn your top into a finished quilt.
We’re making this up as we go, to create a cohesive look and not make it too busy, so we are not yet sure of a finished quilt size or total yardage needed. You are welcome to make all or just a few of the borders – it’s all up to you!
Our Medallion coloring sheet:
JANUARY:
For January, everyone should be picking out their color scheme and making a 12.5″ center block. Your center can be any block from our 2014 BOM program or another quilt block of your choosing. Some have suggested using old bee blocks or abandoned WIPs (Works in Progress) for their center.

Looking for the March BOM border. When will it post?
Hi Kae, we will have it up later this week, probably just after the meeting. Thanks!

I am so excited to do the next border. It is exactly what I had wanted for the next step, so thank you for reading my mind. Can’t wait to get the detentions on this one so I can get started on the next addition. This BOM is so much fun!

I didn’t catch the web site for finding the May border piecing at the meeting, Will you post this and/or instructions soon? I appreciate all the work you do, thanks.
Deborah, here’s the basic block tutorial that was mentioned, though I understood we’d get more complete instructions for the border; ie. we made need some ‘spacers’. http://woodenspoonquilts.blogspot.com/2014/09/raspberry-kiss-block-tutorial_56.html
Thanks so much Debbie.

Where is the July border?
Kae – I expect the July border will be published soon.
I only now discovered this. I love, love medallion quilts, so I hope to do this. I realize it’s nearly over, but I hope it will be here for me to work on. Thanks!
