New Projects for the New Year?

This is the time of year that a lot of quilt projects get started--often offered on the Internet, some for free, some as subscription.  Some are called Sew-A-Longs, some Quilt-A-Longs, some are Mysteries. Lots to choose from.

I try not to get pulled down that Rabbit Hole but occasionally I do.

Here are a few I am thinking about:

1. Two BOM for 2020 from Barbara Brackman

This year Barbara Brackman offers two Block of the Month quilts, one pieced, one applique. I learn so much history from Barbara Brackman's Block of the Month patterns, most of which is women's history. Not sure I will do either of these but I'll be following along. Here is the 2019 Applique quilt, Hospital Sketches--this is NOT the 2020 quilt but gives you an idea of what is to come:


2. MODA Blockheads 3 starts January 15. Here is where I first learned about it: MODA Blockheads 3 is coming--this blog is by my friend, Betsy Chutchian. Here is her Blockheads 2 quilt from last year:



The Facebook group for MODA Blockheads 3 says there are 14 designers and 56 blocks. I couldn't find a link yet with fabric requirements but there must be one as the Facebook group shows lots of people's fabric bundles.

3. Kathleen Tracy's Small Quilt Lovers Facebook Group 2020 Mystery Quilt:  This is available on Facebook in Kathy Tracy's Small Quilt Lovers group. I have started this because I like small quilts, the pieces so far are simple, and I wanted a Leader/Ender project right now--Step 1 prepped and ready to go:


4. Temecula Quilt Company: Scavenger Hunt Sew Along  This starts soon and requires the latest book from Sheryl Johnson:


5. Bonnie Hunter's Annual Mystery: Frolic Mystery  This one is just about over but the patterns will remain available to download/print through January 31, 2020. I am saving the patterns and when the mystery is revealed, I'll know if it's one I'm ever likely to make.

I'm sure there are many more out there, most I never  hear about until they are finished. What about you? Are you working on a new quilt this year or have a favorite coming online this year?

Let's quilt.
