I'm starting this year off with a bang by releasing my first quilt pattern in over a year, Patch Party Block of the Month!

This quilt pattern is full of firsts:
My first time offering paper patterns
My first time working with a fabric company (Thanks Michael Miller!)
My first time offering kits (Thanks Tabitha!)
My first time having video tutorials available (Thanks Rob!)

That is a lot of firsts! Let me give you all the details!

Patch Party Block of the Month:
Size: 60" x 72"

Unlike other Block of the Months I have done in the past, I am providing the complete pattern upon purchase. You can make a block each month, or make it all at once, your choice. There are a total of 11 different traditionally pieced blocks in the quilt. You'll make two of most blocks, four of two of them, and one central block. The 12th month is spent sewing them all together.

Patch Party is made with a happy mix of Cotton Couture Solids and tone on tone Fairy Frost prints. It is fat quarter and fat eighth friendly. You can use your own fabrics or find kits here.

The pattern is available as both a PDF and paper copy. Because of shipping costs I am only shipping paper copies within the US. Everyone else, save some money by purchasing the PDF. :)

Quilt Kits

I was super excited when Tabitha of Stitches & Stilletto's Quilt Co. reached out and offered to make kits for Patch Party. Yay! If you want to make Patch Party as pictured, you are going to want to check out her store.

Right now, she is offering free shipping on kits with the code FREESHIP. Or get free shipping and 10% off your entire order when you purchase additional Cotton Couture yardage and use the code PATCHPARTY. This would be a great time to pick up your backing!

Video Tutorials by Rob Appell

I love Cotton Couture Solids and was excited to design a quilt for Michael Miller Fabrics using them. I was even more excited when Rob Appell, the host of Michael Miller’s YouTube Channel Making It Fun!, offered to make tutorial videos for each of the blocks. YES, please!

Rob will post a video tutorial for one of the blocks on the first Wednesday of every month in 2021. This is a great resource if you are a beginning quilter or a more visual learner. Rob will guide you through step by step.
