I belong to the Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild and their first meeting in January is always a lot of fun because they have so much information for the new year. I didn't join the block of the month last year in the guild because I wasn't crazy about the block. When I saw everyone's cute quilts, I was really sorry that I hadn't joined. Part of the fun of being in a block of the month, is sharing your blocks and especially sharing your finished quilt in January! It was so much fun seeing everyone's interpretation of the quilt and the colors and prints that they used.
This year's block of the month is titled "Choose Your Own Adventure". Elisabeth Hannafin, one of our guild members, is hosting the block of the month. She gave such a wonderful presentation, and gave us ideas of three quilt layouts we can do, or make our own.
I chose a fat quarter bundle that I've been hoarding for the perfect project since 2011!!! It's called Daisy Cottage, designed by Lori Holt. I think it's the second line she designed after Sew Cherry. Lots of pinks, yellows and grays.
It will be fun to see everyone's progress throughout the year. Our big quilt reveal will be in January 2026!
Have a great week ❤️
