This year, I have been very blessed by sponsors of my quilting endeavors on BOMquilts.com. A couple of sponsors have worked with me before and I have some new sponsors this year, too. I’d like to take a minute to thank those sponsors who graciously give of their wares so that I can pursue my passion of quilting.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Do you ever design a quilt that’s out of the norm of your usual quilt designs – and then find just the right fabric to make it with? And then, after sewing everything together, you realize you actually fell in love with said design because the blocks are undeniably beautiful and the finished quilt takes your breath away?
Yeah. That’s been my experience with “Botanical Beauty,” a 2016 block of the month quilt I designed for BOMquilts.com.
I am not anything near a modern quilter…or a modern quilt designer. But this “Botanical Beauty” has just about made me a convert to the usage of reducing the visual noise of quilt fabric with white. I didn’t parlay the true spirit of modern quilts as their basis runs more toward using a muted color in the white spaces and the color where the white would normally go.
Without further ado…here is “Botanical Beauty” from BOMquilts.com:
And these are the three blocks whose instrucitons have been revealed to-date:
“Shabby Love” is a treasure trove of LOVE blocks, created with the shabby chic Arbor Hill fabric line from Benartex. Soft and supple, strong and delightful – oh what a precious hug this free 2016 block of the month quilt will give, once it’s made!

“Botanical Beauty†2016 Block of the Month Quilt. An original Project designed by TK Harrison from BOMquilts.com
“Botanical Beauty†features rich and luxurious fabrics with blocks designed to add a touch of whimsy to your quilting with basic modern flares!
My first 2016 block of the month (BOM) quilt for BOMquilts.com has been designed, the fabrics chosen and received from AbbiMays.com and now it’s time to choose what Aurifil threads we’ll need for the quilt. My “Shabby Chic Love” BOM will be 74″ x 93″ in size. It will consist of a combination of pieced blocks and appliqued blocks.
I’m SO excited to get this quilt underway! I hope you are, too!
