It is amazing how fast one year goes by! We only have four more Skill Builder BOM blocks and then we will be finishing our quilt off with borders.
Coming in September we will be learning machine applique making the Modern Beauty and Liberty Floral blocks.

Any kits ordered will be shipped around September 6th as they are in production right now. The block lesson for these blocks will be posted September 15th. If you choose not to order the pre-cut kits a pdf template for each block will be included in the lesson. You could use a different method for applique or find another leave in applique foundation like we are using.

FMQ Lesson #8 will be posted later today!
