2025-2026 Block of the Month
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF BUGS, BUGS, BUGS!
I have enjoyed this opportunity to create a fun, whimsical, and very buggy quilt for you. It contains 8 flying bugs and 5 flowers. It will involve applique, paper piecing, log cabin, and embroidery if you choose. Please feel free to add your own twists and personality to these blocks. Add legs and eyes, buttons and beads and colourful fabric as well. You will need 3 METERS for the background fabric (this does not include the any borders). Or, like me, use a variety of blues to create a sky background. This is a good quilt to use your scraps to make the “bugs” or you are welcome to pick out some coordinating fat Q’s.
I am looking forward to seeing your interpretation.

Month 1
Welcome to a brand new BOM quilt.
The first bug of the year is the Moth
which is a partial Dresden plate. The
original quilt is in day time colours but
the sample will show bugs at night. You
will be making 4 of them. You can use
any style of applique to attach these
moths to your background/sky fabric.
Feel free to add antennas or eyes to your
moths. Embroidery or buttons can be
used to enhance your bugs. Use the
attach pattern or make up your own.
Please DO NOT sew buttons onto your
quilt until after you have quilted it!
