Month 5 says to measure up 1 1/2" from the bottom of the 4 1/2" but month 10 says 1". Which is it for month 10?

[Barbara B.]

Follow the directions in the pattern. Month 5 was a rectangle, Month 10 is a square.

[Ann W.]

Thanks so much

Is the reason we are not adding the borders this month because the heart will be added next month? I did a realignment of how the pink & purple shapes got added to the center rectangle as I dislike skinny hearts, so I drew my own heart to fit the space I made when I moved where the shapes got placed. If the only reason we're not adding the borders is that we're waiting on those hearts, I will just add my borders once I'm done with them as I did my own fatter heart & they're already on my rectangles.

Thanks.

Linda

There is no reason to wait until Month 11 to add your borders once the hearts are in place.

I'm never around when you have your live so I watched it late last night and wondered if you have any info you're allowed to pass out about next year's BOM? You know, like whose fabric is being used, is it reproduction fabrics or 30's fabrics or batiks or something along those lines that you are allowed to say ahead of time about the kits. I know when I heard Tula Pink fabrics last year, I was waiting to jump right on the kit. If not, that's OK, but I was hoping for some snippets ahead of time.

I can’t say much of anything yet. But it is not reproduction/30s/batiks, nothing like any of those. It is a happy quilt, how’s that for a hint?

Will you be providing any suggestions for how to quilt Homeward Bound? I always struggle when there is a lot of appliqué. Thanks. Beth

[Barbara B.]

I will talk about how Sarah’s quilt is quilted. Since I won’t be quilting mine, I won’t have much to show. A few ideas of how to quilt appliqué quilts will be in my last Homeward Bound blog.

Thought this might help. Sorry it’s so late but I’m just getting to this month

Hi I was wondering how much of the Confetti background fabric is required for Months 11 and 12 as I only have 1 yard left. Will this be enough? Thanks.

Less than one yard is required. And many of the cut sizes are quite small so start using leftover pieces you have BEFORE you cut all the strips listed in the instructions. You probably will be able to cut some of the needed pieces from leftovers.

Does anyone know the size of the finished top after month 10?
