FAQ

  • What skill level is required for this pattern?

    This pattern uses approachable, beginner friendly techniques with small, detailed piecing. This BOM is designed to be a skill builder to help you perfect your seam allowance and small piecing skills! This BOM would be suitable for an advanced beginner who is looking to expand their piecing techniques and accuracy. As each featured block has a FPP option, this is also a good opportunity to practice your FPP skills if desired!

  • What if the BOM has already started? Can I still sign up?

    You can sign up any time during (or after) the BOM and still receive all of the blocks!

  • Can I buy a block separately?

    When the BOM has concluded, some of the featured blocks will likely be added to my shop. However, they will be priced accordingly due to their complexity, so if you want more than one of the blocks the most cost-effective approach is to sign up for the BOM.
