Here are my experiences with the 2 I have done.
1: This one semi local and I would go pick up the blocks every 3 months. The shop cut out the fabric and there was zero room for error and I mean none. Lesson learned, do not do a BOM from this shop. You will have to cut the necessary pieces from the fabric they send you. I have seen very few where everything is cut for you.
2: This one was from Missouri *, the fabric cuts were generous but they had horrible shipping issues and sent me other peoples orders etc. , after 6 months I canceled, it was not worth the headache or frustration.
3: Cost: IMHO, the cost might also be a consideration. The entire quilt alone will be 349.00 when its all said and done, and that is without shipping. If you are having it shipped, there is the additional cost of 99.99 for the entire program for a total of 448.90 for the cost of the quilt.
It is a beautiful quilt and it caught my eye as well when FatQuarter Shop sent an email about it. I prefer to buy BOM’s that offer the entire kit as a one time purchase. I agree that you need to call the shop and ask them directly how generous they are with cutting the fabric, and other questions you may have. I have no doubt that each shop has their own way of doing these, and its a great way to end up with a beautiful quilt at the end if the program. Please be sure to post pictures of your progress if you do decide to go ahead, its a beautiful quilt!
