Wagon Wheels New BOM

If you know me well, you would know that I like to work on several projects at once.
There is a quilt that I started many moons ago. I created a round wheel template as the main shape and used reverse applique to make cut-outs in the centre and of course some English Paper Piecing interspersed between the blocks.

Unfortunately this project got put to the side as I worked on many projects in between.

I am happy to announce that it is now finished and I’m really pleased with the result.
We love it so much here at the Studio and think you will too, that we have decided to offer it as our new BLOCK OF THE MONTH.

Introducing Wagon Wheels

The Quilt measures 61″ x 61″ and features needle-turn applique, reverse applique and english paper piecing using enlongated hexagons and squares.

We would love to invite you on the journey to create the Wagon Wheels quilt in our Block of the Month. Sign up below by clicking the image.

HI Sue,

I signed up for and have completed month 1 of Wagon Wheels, how do I find the facebook group for it?

Cheers

Hi Kate,

Unfortunately we have decided to forgo the Facebook group for the Wagon Wheels BOM as we didn’t reach a large number of members to warrant the group. Of course if you are having any concerns with the project you are more than welcome to email us at sales@busyfingerspatchwork.com. And we always welcome people to share their progress and finished projects with us by simply tagging us on Facebook or emailing us a photo. Happy sewing Kate!

I signed up for the BOM at a quilt shop by mail. I have a question one your instructions. Page 1, Note:1 says the Templates are made of acrylic and INCLUDE a 1/4 seam allowance for rotary cutting your fabric.

The bottom of page 3, Note: says ADD: 3/16″ seam allowance to the outside of the circle.

So, I am not sure, do I need to add a seam allowance or is it included?

Thanks,

Tonya

(Can’t wait to get started-Very beautiful)

Hi Tonya,

Thanks for your great question. Yes all of our English Paper Piecing acrylic templates include a 1/4″ seam allowance and can be seen by the dotted line on the template. An exception to the rule is any of our Applique templates – including the Wagon Wheel template, which doesn’t include a seam allowance and you will need to add 3/16″ when cutting out. So yes, please add 3/16″ when cutting out your wagon wheel template, no need to add any seam allowance on the Elongated hexagons.

Thank you for bringing this confusion to our attention, we have updated the instructions to read more clearly.

Good luck with the Quilt!

Jessica

Sorry Tonya, that is confusing. The templates for EPP have the 1/4″ included but the appliqué one you must add the 1/4″ follow the appliqué instructions for that.

I do like how you managed to create such a wonderful embroidery with the images of colorful wagon wheels as the design. This inspired me to do the same, but try to be a little more creative. I’ll do my best to recreate some real-life wagon wheels while embroidering. That is why I’ll try to find a big quilt for my project and some wagon wheels that I can purchase as a model. Thanks!
