Deana at Dreamworthy Quilts has come up with a new concept for a block of the month. Each person decides on their own pattern. I think this is the greatest idea because so often I want to do a BOM, but I already have in mind quilts I want to do in the next year and hate to add another, unknown, quilt.
For years, my mom has asked me to make her a Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam quilt similar to this one made by her grandmother for mother. This is my brother on the quilt at my grandmother's house. After my brother got older, my grandmother put the quilt away for the next grandson (and there wasn't another grandson), and mom never saw it again. She bought me several patterns ten years ago, but at the time, I didn't think I could make an applique quilt. I'm ready to try it now. She wants Sue along with Sam even though it looks to me that the original quilt was only Sam in various positions.
Another BOM I'd like to make is from an old pattern printed by the Denver Post in 1933. It's called Pond Lily, and I want to do it as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge. One of my passions is growing water lilies, and I can just see these in batiks.
I'm not sure when her linky for this ends, but if you want to join, follow my link here.
