The Quiltmaker team is so excited to announce their new Block of the Month quilt. This quilt, appropriately named Quilty Baskets, is an online only, exclusive block of the month quilt. The materials for this quilted throw will begin to be mailed out in April.
What are the quilt specs?
- A two-block quilt using basket blocks and string pieced quilt blocks
- The finished size is 59.5″ x 79.5″
- Skills needed: string piecing and good ole’ patchwork piecing
Why should you start another quilt project?
- Block of the month quilts are convenient! The fabric is already picked out, the instructions are made. Everything is literally delivered to your doorstep every month.
- You can work on small chunks at a time. Since each month’s delivery consists of a quilt pattern for a basket block and a string pieced block, you only have to work on two quilt blocks during the month. That’s manageable.
- Block of the month quilts encourage you to keep going. Each month a new delivery will come. Mark that date on your calendar. Make that as a deadline to complete your two previous quilt blocks.
What’s special about this Block of the month?
- We know no quilter is alike, and that is why we’ve created this quilted throw in three different color ways. Decide between blue, a red and brown combination or green. Match your decor, match your personality, match your hair!

- It’s from your trusted quilting source, Quiltmaker. We’ve made this quilt ourselves, and we must say, we approve! But we don’t want to stop there. We will be behind you 100% through the BOM. Ask us questions, share pictures and rejoice with other quilters as everyone’s block of the month comes together, one block at a time.
- There’s more than piecing the quilt. You can learn to string piece. Your quilt guild will ohh and ahhh over your spectacular string piecing skills.
Grab one quilty friend; grab ten quilty friends, sign up for the Quilty Baskets BOM and wait patiently for April to arrive with your first fabric and pattern shipment.
My suggestion to take up the month of March? Get those UFO’s done! I know they’re piling up!
All my best,
Rachel
