Posted on May 22, 2020 by TK HarrisonMay 17, 2020

“Midnight Stargazer” 2020 Block of the Month Quilt. An Original Design by TK Harrison, Owner of BOMquilts.com!

Remember this quilt? This amazing, beautiful, wonderful, eye-popping, luscious, astonishing, astounding, awesome, breathtaking, fabulous & spectacular quilt 🙂 ?

Finished Size = 67″ x 79″
Block size = 12″ finished & 12 1/2″ unfinished

“Stockyard Star”
Block #2 – Part #2 of the Midnight Stargazer 2020 BOM Quilt

This block *is* the most difficult one of all six of them to sew together! Which is why the pattern’s been revealed in two separate parts. The April pattern included the cutting instructions & the first part of sewing the “Stockyard Star” quilt block together.
This month’s pattern will complete the “Stockyard Star” quilt block construction!

But once it’s sewn together, you’ll see what I’m talking about, when I said all of those adjectives above 🙂 ! The black background fabric brings out the beauty of the ombré fabrics, that go into making each & every quilt block.

Here’s a look at the first two blocks that have been revealed this far:

: "Midnight Stargazer"
Block #1 – Chained Star

: "Midnight Stargazer"
Block #2 – Stockyard Star

Abbi May’s Fabric Shop’s only has ONE (1) “Midnight Stargazer” quilt kit left in her shop! Better hurry if you think you want to make this gorgeous, amazing & luscious quilt!

And if you feel like letting your fingers do the shopping (and who doesn’t 🙂 when they’re stuck at home?) all of her fabrics are always 10% below retail price!

Dolley Madison & Martha Washington are as American as you can get! Two heroines from our American history! That’s the names of the quilt blocks that make up this timeless quilt pattern!

This month, “In Honor” is the free pattern that members earn,
for completing the Quilt Dash.

Here’s a sneak-peak at the quilt blocks that are named for these heroines of our history:

: Dolley Madison Star

: Dolley Madison Variation Star

: Martha Washington Star

: Martha Washington Variation Star

There’s nobody who deserves more recognition than those who’ve served and/or who are currently serving our country in the military!

This quilt could be made & used as a Quilts of Valor quilt! Then gifted to a veteran of your choice, or donated to a quilt group/guild for a vet, or even donated to the National QOV Association!

This traditionally pieced quilt measures 70″ square when finished.
The quilt blocks are 14” finished and 14 1/2” unfinished.

“Stockyard Star”
Block #2 – Part #1 of the Midnight Stargazer 2020 BOM Quilt

This block is by far the most challenging quilt block to sew together thus far! In fact, I think it *is* the most difficult one of all six of them! Which is why the pattern’s being revealed in two separate parts. This month’s pattern includes the cutting instructions & the first part of sewing the “Stockyard Star” quilt block together.
Next month’s pattern will complete the “Stockyard Star” quilt block construction.

Quilt Dash Knows how to Dance the Irish Jig! Do you?

Posted on March 19, 2020 by TK HarrisonMarch 14, 2020

The Irish Jig’s Probably the Most Distinctive & Recognizable Dance Style’s Around!
Irish love to dance & the Irish Jig is one of their favorite styles!

This month, “Ye Olde Irish Jig” is the free pattern, that members earn
for completing the Quilt Dash.

“Ye Olde Irish Jig”

This traditionally pieced quilt measures 62″ x 80″ when finished.
The blocks are 12” finished and 12 1/2” unfinished.

“Irish Logs” Quilt Block

This quilt block looks difficult to make, but it uses the Sew‐n‐Slash™ Method, developed by me 🙂 & that makes it sew together in a jiffy!

First you sew together the quilt block above.
Then you’ll sew the FOUR (4) corner’s to the quilt block shown above & once done you’ll Slash off the unused corner’s of the quilt block shown above! It’s as simple (or hard, depending on how you want to look at it) as that!

Just don’t get caught underneath them. If you know what I mean?!!
