- - BOM without kits? (https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/bom-without-kits-t299012.html)

There's a number of free BOMs on the web, which I save on my computer, and use the fabrics I want to use. I don't buy kits, or pre-cuts.

Imost bom i have seen are actual patterns you can buy i would just buy the pattern, cut it out and separate it into months

I am doing the National Quilt Museum Challenge BOM Club---no kit to buy. Also the Featherweight Shop.Com is doing the Farm Girl Vintage BOM --- no kit but need the book "Farm Girl Vintage". And others have mentioned Eleanor Burns' Quilt in a Day Fun on the Farm BOM ---no kit or pattern to buy.

I am currently collecting the patterns for a nice quilt done by “Morning Glory Designs” that will be beautiful whether I use her colors or mine. No kit involved, but I believe she has several patterns ongoing. After she offers them free she then sells them for not much.

I am amazed at how many BOM there are out there. I am currently collecting patterns from the National Quit Museum BOM Challenge and Quilters for Comfort (Block every 2 weeks). Both free and challenging.

The Craftsy 2012 block of the month is one of the best. I use it to teach people different quilting methods. It’s free.

Teen,
Thanks for the site I am downloading the blocks.

Pat Sloan has had several; she offers kits if you want them but shows colors so you can choose your own and most I've seen are free - but one and they are using a specific book for it.

linmid: I just downloaded all those blocks, too! Hoping they are within my skillset

mjp: this looks cool!

I have so many options now, I am giddy!!

Hi Red,

If you like civil war style, Piecing the Past usually has a free BOW running. The current week's block is offered free, and after that she sells it for $.99. When the BOW is over, the completed patterns sell for about $15.

You could sign up for her newsletters and then you will be able to get in on the start of the next one. I did one of her BOWs, "Rest and Refreshing", and was very pleased. And of course you don't have to use civil war fabrics.

Pat Sloan does a lot of these, too.

I'm with SewBizgirl, I really like the BOW offerings from Piecing the Past. Her instructions are really good and her patterns are challenging but doable. I joined the FB group and it's like we all work on the BOW together. We are getting near the end of her Summer at the Cabin pattern. If you like her designs, you can sign up and be ready for whatever she does next.
