I know we have yet to post booth pictures and finish up with our new patterns but this morning I wanted to share something new and exciting with you!
… this is a picture of the original MODERN BUILDING BLOCKS KIT in the MODA booth. Quilted by the lovely Natalia Bonner and shown on her blog here. Stealing her photos shamelessly since ours didn't come out quite right.
During Market in Pittsburgh last week, MODA revealed one of their latest projects, the MODERN BUILDING BLOCKS KIT. It is an amazing quilt. Really. Created entirely out of MODA Bella Solids, the quilt is a wonderful assortment of various sizes [blocks range from 6" to 36"] and colors of blocks that make up an overall quilt that is a feast for the eyes.
Since our booth was directly across from the quilt for 4 days, we spent a lot of time staring right at it, dreaming of it in Fig Tree colors!
… this is our Fig Tree version!
For 7 months, each month we will send you a yummy packet of fabric to make sure you have enough to do the blocks for that month [and some more if you get excited]. MODA's pattern "fan" pack will be sent to you in the September shipment or as soon as we receive it [we will still send you pattern directions before the printed pack arrives]. There will be about 48 blocks in the quilt when finished but a few of the smallest blocks will be repeats.
Your shipments will begin in August with BELLA SOLIDS and current Fig Tree fabrics and will begin to include our SOMERSET fabrics as soon as it hits shelves in September, 2014.
We will work along side you in making our blocks and will show them on the blog, facebook and instagram. CLICK HERE for more info. We will take signups for the next 10 days or so or until we sell out!
We are so excited about this new project. Gotta get sewing!

I just signed up. I waffled on the other BOM and missed out.
I love the dimensionality of the quilt due to the different block sizes.I am also happy there will be prints. Mostly because it is Fig Tree of course!

This seems awesome!
I really wish you were offering some similar visuals along-the-road-for your farmhouse BOM! My motivation is waning a bit on it, and it would be so inspiring to see a few fig tree style shots of finished blocks, at least!!!
Joanna | 23rd May 14
We are doing that this week! Maybe even this weekend…. Promise!

I’d love to buy just the patterns for the blocks, will that be possible?
Deb | 24th May 14
Great!! I was about to comment the exact same thing at beritbunny above. I keep checking your blog but never see anything about the farmhouse BOM. It feels as if I’m doing it alone. It will be super great to see some of your photos and commentary on it. Thanks! (and did you mention having a button for our sidebar if we’re working on the BOM?)
Joanna | 25th May 14
These two BOMs are totally different but I love them both. The first one is totally vintage feeling. This one quite the opposite and yet they are both so amazing to look at for me. So glad that you decided to join us this time around!

I have signed up for the BOM and can’t wait to get it started! If you have a Bloggers button for it, I would like to receive it. Jennifer @ http://www.seamscrazyquilts.com. Lovely new collection coming out – saving my pennies!

I am so excited for this bom myself I cant even tell you! I will be working on the blocks along with you.. Cant wait!

The patterns are by MODA and I am sure that many stores will carry just the pattern booklet!
