Chestnut & Vine Block of the Month!

A beautiful BOM project, featuring CHESTNUT & VINE by Faye Burgos, in a quilt design by Vicki Bellino of Bloom Creek.

Faye's rich harvest palette of russet, gold, pumpkin, sage and brown says holidays without an obvious "holiday" feel. Vicki makes the most of the sophisticated motifs with simple block construction and beginner-level appliqué with clear, easy instructions for both stitched and fused techniques. Plus, Vicki, the Marcus Strip-It expert, introduces quilters to even more creative new cutting and piecing techniques using Marcus' unique pre-printed stripe fabric, an industry innovation. You'll love this year's Strip-It-based design!
CHESTNUT & VINE, a 82" square quilt, is designed for completion in a 6-month timeframe. (Each month blocks/border will be added to the center block, so that at the end of the 6th month, the quilt will be finished.) The program runs from July 2011 through December 2011.



Each monthly installment will ship beginning July 2011 and end December 2011. Shipping & Handling is $4.75 per month
