BOM without kits?
Hi All,
Other than the BOM with Eleanor Burns Down on the Farm, are there any BOM's that don't have the kits included?
I like the idea of using my stash, but find it helpful to stay on track when working things as a BOM (at least that is my hopes!). But all the BOM's I'm finding are the full kit.
Anyone know of a neat site to try?
Thanks!

Pick the size block you want and do one a month from Quilt Blocks Galore? Just a thought. My sister and I are doing a block a month from the patterns from the 2014 Row by Row that we collected but never made.

https://www.fatcatpatterns.com/bom.html has two running right now. Both patterns are free for the month of issue and then a small charge. There are several others from various blogspots. I think it is a matter of bookmarking the sites or signing up for the newsleters so that you know when the various ones start.

I’ve done 3 just looking thru quilt blocks galore and books I have that have blocks in them. I keep them in a 12” project box that I got at Hobby Lobby. When I’m between projects I’ll look for something I want to try and make a block and put it in the box with the others. The only thing I have in there that’s not a finished block is the background color fabric. I think I have 32 blocks in there right now. I’ll have to make the quilt pretty soon and start a new box as I’m running out of the background fabric (0:

Hi Red,
If you like civil war style, Piecing the Past usually has a free BOW running. The current week's block is offered free, and after that she sells it for $.99. When the BOW is over, the completed patterns sell for about $15.
You could sign up for her newsletters and then you will be able to get in on the start of the next one. I did one of her BOWs, "Rest and Refreshing", and was very pleased. And of course you don't have to use civil war fabrics.

Pat Sloan does a lot of these, too.

I like the Freshly Pieced Summer Sampler. https://freshly-pieced-quilt-pattern...eries-patterns
I made a quilt for one of my young nieces using one of the blocks from this summers BOM.
