Welcome to the Quilting Board!
It is beautiful but I too am not willing to pay that high price.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
I KNEW as soon as I saw the price when I looked up the pattern that there would be complaining about the cost! The applique patterns are striking and intricate and the quilt setting is stunning - the designer deserves a good return for her work.
I don't think anyone is "complaining" about the price. We are just saying it's more than we are willing to pay. Just a statement.

Thank you
I must comment on the cost of BOM patterns. Each section is treated as an individual pattern. Then the final directions are written. When you think about a traditional quilt pattern. It may have 2 or 3 blocks at the most in it. then it is the placement of the blocks to make the pattern. Also with any applique patterns. You must print every piece out for each applique. this adds to the total cost of the pattern. I think 30 to 60 dollars is acceptable for a BOM type pattern. I know it maybe to expensive for some. I understand that but I also know the design process and it really is a bargain! I have paid up to 110 dollars for a BOM pattern from Australia. I am currently working on it. I love it and would not have taken the time to design one like it. If you like it enough you will find a way to get it! Have a Great Day! Luann in CT

I find that most of the block of the months are to expensive for me to. So I look for free blocks of the months on the web and I can always find something I like.
I agree, crafterrn1. I am very selective about the patterns/books I purchase, so when I do make a purchase, especially for a BOM that I am excited about, the cost seems less of a factor. If this was an active pattern, paying monthly would be much easier on the budget, but I have saved my pennies (ha) and this is a bit of a splurge for me. Found a great deal on the set of 12 patterns plus fabric, so I am a happy camper! Thanks to all for your input. This forum is just the best! :-)
That is a beautiful quilt, but to make it you have to buy all three pattern sets, and they total $93. Too much for me.
It is a lovely quilt I love the Christmas / Santa theme. I see BOMs that I like and buy them for future projects one day when I retire (at least that is my reasoning )
Everyday is a good day for Quilting!
