Sister Sampler -Bonfire BOM

Most people that know me know that I fully admit to being crazy. Hence, the mayhem in Quilting Mayhem. I am once again proving my level of crazy by joining the Sister Sampler Bonfire BOM – swap style. I apparently should not look through blog posts during my couple days off over New Years weekend. I found a post by GenX Quilter about her book Sister Sampler and absolutely fell in LOVE with the quilts and had to have to book. The book came in last week and I was even more in love with her patterns and design layouts. Of course I started talking about my infatuation with the book and next thing I know Trina from In An Otter Life and Lorinda from Laurel, Poppy and Pine are joining the Bonfire Bom and I band-wagoned right on with them.

So each month we are following along and making the blocks from Sister Sampler to make the Bonfire quilt. There are three of us in this little “sister” group so we will be making three blocks each month to swap with each other. Lorinda and Trina picked our awesome color palette that we will be working from. I was happy that they already started with purple and teal before asking me what color I wanted. Why, orange of course, but I didn’t really think they’d do it. I am so in love with this palette.
