Celtic Block of the Month Quilt Pattern


Mountainjoy Quilts just released it's new Block of the Month quilt pattern. I have worked on it for quite a while and taught to several local students.
I have now released the first block pattern
IT ALL STARTS IN THE HEART on my web store over at http://www.mountainjoyquiltndye.etsy.com/.
I will be releasing a new one each month for the next twelve months. Just think, you could start that next holiday gift already. Each block is really quick and fairly easy. I include full instructions and templates. They will all be a 13" square with a celtic knot in stained glass style.
Have fun picking out your own color scheme, it is practically endless with today's fabric lines. You could also use a different color bias tape. You lose the stained glass effect, but one of my students did an amazing piece using copper metallic bias tape and fall colored fabrics. You also get to choose how many you feel like doing. Quilted in single blocks, they are cute table pieces. Three or four quilted together make a great wall piece. All twelve, when put together with sashing strips and borders, will give you a queen-sized quilt. It's the perfect time to start a new project. How else are we quilters to keep warm in the winter?
