About 2 weeks ago I mentioned in the Facebook Humble Quilts group I was starting a new project and was asking for background suggestions. Well, this is the quilt! It is a Block of the Month by the Virginia Quilt Museum- Price super reasonable at $5 month! Check it out HERE. There is a blog HERE. And a facebook group HERE. So far the patterns are accurate and well done and for the center sections the fearless leaders are showing and giving a few options to get it accomplished!! I'm getting a late start so I've only got the bottom border prepped! I plan on doing my usual machine applique. I'm excited to start the centers. After many great suggestions I ended up ordering Moda Bella natural. Small shirtings and toile were terrific options, but I was also trying to save money and a solid background saved me considerable. I also had a gift card that I was able to use, so that helped. This is what I have prepped and ready to applique. If you join in on the fun let me know! On another note:
