A Brand New

BLOCK OF THE MONTH

Felicity

BY KRISTIN GASSAWAY

Felicity means “intense happiness” and we’re sure our Block of the Month will deliver!

The fresh colors of A Walk in the Park play harmoniously in each lovely row. There’s plenty of movement in this design and everything is beautifully finished with an attractive border.

Join us for a patchwork adventure!

What is a Block of the Month?

Each month, for 9 months, we’ll ship you the instructions and the fabric you’ll need to make a portion of the quilt. The idea is that you can “sew-as-you-go,” and at the end of 9 months, you’ll have sewn a finished quilt top!

More than just a project, it’s a community.

Monthly tips & tricks from designer Kristin Gassaway in our private Facebook group Exclusive offers, gifts, and more

Reviews of our previous Block of the Month quilts: “I am loving this! This is my first BOM. I don’t feel overwhelmed with a lot of fabric on a large project. 2–4 blocks a month, a few easy sashings, and I can easily keep up.”

— Victoria D. Wyoming, Michigan — “Someone asked what I’ve learned since starting this project. A lot! Can’t wait for the next installment.”

Felicity Block of the Month features our new collection from CT Design Studio, A Walk in the Park. Visit us online to see buying options.

Finished size is 861/2" x 1041/2".

Note: Backing is not included with the subscription. You will need an additional 81/4 yards of standard width fabric for the backing.
