2013 Six-Month BOMquilts.com BOM

Flashback Tuesday: Chocolate Cake and Roses 2013 Six-Month BOM Quilt Exclusively Designed by BOMquilts.com

Posted on September 16, 2014 by TK HarrisonSeptember 15, 2014

It hasn’t been but a year since this quilt was published at BOMquilts.com but it is truly a stunning lap quilt and is worth repeating. It goes together very quickly, even though there are nine different blocks – each block is designed based on the center block – known as the Chocolate Cake block. And what’s more romantic than chocolate and roses?

Chocolate Cake and Roses 2013 Six-Month BOM Quilt Exclusively Designed by BOMquilts.com

I gifted this to a very special couple as they needed just a bit more chocolate and roses (and romance) in their lives. I think many of us could use a quilt to remind us that romance needs to be an integral part of our lives – with whomever you choose as your partner!

Chocolate Cake and Roses Quilt Finished!

Posted on April 18, 2013 by TK HarrisonApril 18, 2013

I am not one of those quilt designers who designs a pattern and just gives you an image of the quilt from my EQ7 to look at. If at all possible, I will always make the quilt – especially for making sure the pattern is written correctly. Not to mention that I design quilts that I truly LIKE and want to share them with not just my BOMquilts.com audience, but I also get to share the physical quilt with someone special. Nine times out of 10, I know exactly who the quilt will be gifted to when I’ve finished designing it – and the 10th time, I know who the quilt will be gifted to by the time I’ve finished the quilt. No quilt goes without a loving home!

Enter my “Chocolate Cake and Roses” six-month BOM quilt from BOMquilts.com. I didn’t know who to give it to, didn’t have a plan when I started making it or even halfway through the construction of the quilt top – although there were a number of folks who wanted me to pick them for the quilt! As far as I was concerned, it would be lovingly saved until the perfect recipient could be determined…because there was definitely someone special that I needed to gift the quilt to, but I did not know who that was quite yet.

This luscious quilt was finished a couple of weeks ago, and with the last stitch that was placed, the gift recipient immediately was determined. I am not going to reveal who will get the quilt, so suffice it to say it is someone who is deserving of it, who will love it for many years and who will enjoy being wrapped up in each loving quilted stitch.

Do you make quilts for yourself? For someone who needs them? For someone who wants them? Or for your own trunk shows? Inquiring quilting minds want to know!

BOMquilts.com Block of the Month Quilt #1

Posted on April 8, 2013 by TK HarrisonApril 7, 2013

For 2013, I have designed and am making TWO block of the month quilts! The first one is called “Chocolate Cake and Roses” and is made from the luscious fabrics provided by AbbiMays.com – Double Chocolat. This quilt made me hungry for DAYS when I was putting it together 🙂 . I have completed the quilt and it has been quilted, just waiting on the back of the binding to be sewn on. This quilt was also sponsored by Aurifil thread – no other thread was used in the making of this beautiful quilt!

This is a six-month BOM, with two blocks revealed on (or before) the fifth of each month. These are the two blocks that were revealed on April 5th:

DC3

“Chocolate Cake and Roses” Block 7

DC5

“Chocolate Cake and Roses” Block 8
