BOM 2026 | Traditional Block Gone Modern

Project Overview

What makes a quilt block modern? 

A series of 9 monthly prompts will explore ways to make a favorite traditional block modern.  

  • You choose a traditional block design.  
  • I’ll provide a prompt, a few hints/inspirations if you’re stymied & an “Easy Button” to lend a helping hand.
  • 3rd Wednesday of each month, 7:00 pm
  • Active Slack channel for sharing progress, inspiration, questions…

We’ll explore grids in quilt design – something to think about as we work on each month’s prompt.

We’ll get a “bonus” modern prompt (that you probably already know) to get those piecing juices flowing.

We’ll get a little “things to think about” homework assignment to prepare for our first monthly prompt meeting (February 18, 7:00 pm)

  • Zoom meeting (3rd Wednesday/month)
  • Slack Channel – sm-group-bom26
