I like the neat and orderly construction of block based quilts and I also like how they are an easy way to use up fat quarters and precuts. I realized as I was getting ready to do this book that I gravitate towards block based quilt designs. So many of my quilts over the years are block based. We settled on the idea of modern quilts (that was an easy one) and block based quilts.
I had about 6 months to design and make 12 quilts or so. I lost an entire month of working on it to morning sickness. So while I thought the timing was good for this quilt book it did end up being a bit stressful with a move, a remodel and finding out I was pregnant towards the end of it. I like to take on a project, see it to completion and then take on something new. I didn’t want to drag out the process of this book. Modern Quilts Block by Block had a pretty quick turnaround which really appealed to me. So with the offer in my inbox I accepted and got right to work designing and making quilts. I felt like the timing was right and I was ready. The crazy thing is the day before I heard from them I told my husband I wanted to do a book. I was approached by Tuva Publishing in December of 2017 about the idea of writing a quilt book. Quilt shops can purchase it wholesale at Checker. You can purchase a copy in my shop or a copy on Amazon or ask your local quilt shop about it. I haven’t shared it here on the blog yet so it’s time to tell you all about it.
Most of 2018 was spent focused on making this book a reality. My labor of love last year, aka my Modern Quilts Block by Block book is published and available.
