This was just last year’s BOMquilts.com’s block of the month quilt, but it is absolutely gorgeous using wonderful batiks!
Print this pattern. Save this pattern. It’s definitely one you need to put together as the colors are smashing!

I have the table topper for the annual “Christmas in July 2014” quilted project all cut out and waiting for me to put it together!
All of the fabric for the “Christmas in July 2014” has been donated by Abbi May’s Fabric Shop. We are using the Merry Stitches fabric line and the Merriment Cotton fabric line.
Can’t wait to see this when it’s finished!
I definitely have the advantage of completing a block of the month quilt, since I have designed them. Sometimes, I follow along with making the blocks each month…just as my BOMquilts.com viewers do. But some of the time, I am way ahead of the curve and finish one of my BOM’s ahead of time…as I did for this year’s 2014 “He Loves Me, He Loves me Not” BOM.
This quilt was sponsored by AbbiMays.com and Aurifil threads.
Part of my reasoning for finishing this quilt ahead of time was because the fabrics just drew me in – they were SO much fun to work with! The other part of my reasoning for finishing this quilt is that I am donating it to our school’s one-act play (OAP) program. Both my older daughter and our middle daughter have been involved in this great program and it deserves more recognition. But, also, because of school budget cuts, the OAP company has had to forgo some very important festivals or workshops because there just wasn’t enough funding for it. (And don’t even get me started on how the funding for the sport’s programs are no problem but funding for one of the few fine arts offered at the school is not.)
Anyway, praying the OAP company will be allowed to raffle this quilt off early in the 2014-2015 school year so they can participate in the vital festivals and workshops that provide much needed critiques to help make their OAP performances perfected before they reach the competition phase of their program. And I am happy to be able to help in whatever way I can!
Since my “2014 Christmas in July” patterns will all be table toppers or table runners, I thought I would search Pinterest for some easy table runner tutorials for you. Here’s what I’ve come up with:
Quilted Table Runner Tutorial by Amy Smart (this is a quilt as you go project)
Scrappy 9-Patch Table Runner Tutorial from A Quilting Life
Strip it Table Runners from Bay Window Quilts
Is time for BOMquilts.com’s annual “Christmas in July” free quilt project pattern fun!
