This is a big block quilt!
It won’t take long to sew it together, whether you’re new to paper piecing, or an old pro at it!
The finished block’s size’s are 17 1/2″ square.
The unfinished block’s size’s are 18″ square.

Once again, my 2020 BOM quilt is sponsored by:

Abbi May’s Quilt Shop!
I just love Linda & her team! If you haven’t shopped with her I’m sure you will, too! She only has six “Graceful Garden” kits, made out of the “Garden Notes” quilt fabric, available this year. If you want one you’d better order it sooner than later!

“Graceful Garden” is a paper pieced block of the month quilt, featuring the “Garden Notes” fabrics, designed by Diane Neukirch for Clothworks Fabrics!

The “Fabric Requirements” were posted on January 20, 2021 at BOMquilts.com!

Which means that you should have your “Graceful Garden” quilt top finished by the end of the year! Especially if we’re quarantined, for most of 2021, like we were for most of 2020!

It’s a “Winter Wonderland” at Quilt Dash this Month!

Posted on January 21, 2021 by TK HarrisonJanuary 16, 2021

Enjoy curling up during winter with this “Winter Wonderland” quilt!

“Winter Wonderland” designed by Phyllis Dobbs for Quilt Dash!
You can easily make the quilt larger or smaller!
The finished size of this quilt is 52 1/2” x 68 1/2”.

This is a great pattern to use your scraps for the appliqués to give it a scrappy look!

These are the two quilt blocks that make up the “Winter Wonderland” quilt! Don’t they remind you of a stroll through the mountain of trees in the Winter Wonderland?
They’re created with appliqué!
The blocks are 9” x 18” finished. The perfect size!

Here’s a row of four of the “Winter Wonderland” quilt blocks with the sashing between each one of them!
