We are 3 blocks away from finishing our Blackbird’s Bounty Mystery Stitch a Long! I hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as we have! It will become a gorgeous fall quilt when finished!
The quilt will finish at 56” x 71”. It is finished in flannels and wool appliqués. The small pumpkin blocks for the cornerstones will be pieced in flannel also. Using variegated green WonderFil thread, we will add all the vines with wool red berries and leaves to accent our blocks.
You can Pre-order your finishing kit now for $54.00 for the kit only. $59.00 for the kit with pattern. The coordinating thread thread pack (which will include 2 balls of Varigated for the vine sashing) is only $22.50.
You can order a Big Bundle which will include the Kit, full color pattern, and thread pack to finish your quilt for only $78.00 (plus shipping).
Finishing Pattern will not be available until the week of November 23rd at Calico Patch Designs!
