Fabric kit and pattern for Bluebell Woods block of the month quilt

Please consider carefully before starting a block of the month on whether you are able to purchase all the patterns. It can be difficult for me to sell the remaining blocks of an incomplete quilt. :)
Please note the final picture in dark blue is of the autumn forest quilt and is only to show you a similar quilt. This quilt is for the spring wood.

The BOM is £34 a month plus postage and runs for 9 months. Postage to the UK is an additional £1.50 and overseas is £5 a month.


The full quilt is a soft palette of lilacs, blues, soft greens, deep blues, dark blues, and touches of teal. There is a subtle circular design with a gentle self border of lighter fabrics (4 inches deep) and features fauna and flora from an spring UK forest. This quilt measures 36 by 36" and would be ideal on the wall or to cuddle up under. The blocks are irregular sizes to give me more opportunity to incorporate larger designs. So month one will be the background only for the large fawn panel, and month two will be the applique for the fawn. Similar will happen later in the quilt to allow for a number of trees along the left side. The quilt will incorporate British hedgerow animals and spring flowers.

Each block will cost £34 plus postage. Postage for the UK is £1.75 per month, and oversea is £5 per month.
I'll be making up a block a month ahead of folks buying it. I only do a small number of kits so you could choose to wait until I'm finished at the risk of missing out.

​
The quilt itself is in my usual style, so it is a patchwork background with raw edge applique sewn with free motion embroidery. You don't need a fancy machine to sew it but your machine needs to be able to do free motion embroidery. The pattern contains basic instructions for the patchwork. I don't go into a lot of detail on patchwork as I am assuming that you know the basics but other than the odd half square triangle, it is all pretty simple. The kits contain the fabrics, freezer paper and stabilizer you will need to complete the top. You will need to purchase your own threads but I do list every thread that I use so you can use the same if you wish to. The fabrics are supplied as a rectangle/square big enough for the shape you need. No laser cutting so you are relying on freezer paper/pencil and scissors to cut the shapes out yourself. I like this step as it is quite therapeutic. I label all the fabrics with little stickers which tell you what they are to be used for so it makes it a little easier to know which bit goes where. I use raw edge techniques and the patterns are using those instructions, but you could also use needle turn techniques, but no instructions will be given. For some of the pieces, you would need additional fabric to use needle-turn. I do give a little extra, but it might be tight on some of the smaller pieces and you would need to purchase additional fabric.



Hopefully that all makes sense, but please don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear.-------------------------------
