What Can I expect after signing up?
After sign up you will be added to the monthly email list. Each month (on the last day of the month) you will receive an email with the new chapter’s pattern. Be sure to carefully check your email for accuracy when you sign up. The first Pattern will be emailed on January 31, 2020 and the last pattern will be emailed on the last day of November 2020. That means I will double up on a month so we can be on track to finish our final chapter (#12) for November.Can I sign up anytime?
Yes, if you sign up after January, You will receive your email with the patterns to date and any remaining patterns will then come monthly. If you sign up after the quilt is complete (after the qal is over) you will receive the entire pattern at once.Will I be charged Monthly?
No, the sign up fee is a one time charge that covers the entire series from start to finish and you can sign up any time, it will not expire.How will patterns be delivered?
As a printable PDF via the email you provide when you sign up.Will every block be different?
There are a lot of different blocks, but in this design, there are also a lot of blocks that will repeat throughout the quilt to get the row effect. There might be four identical 6″ blocks that come together to make one larger 12″ block…. or several identical blocks to make a row design… you follow?How much fabric will I need?
Good Question! This quilt is intended to be scrappy, so (as usual) I will not be posting a fabric list. I am working from my stash on a month by month basis. The blocks are small so little bits from your stash will work on most blocks. You will need a few larger pieces for the text blocks but don’t sweat it, they will be manageable sizes. If you don’t have a stash a fat quarter bundle is a great place to start.Do I have to use your text? Or any text at all?
No, I will provide you with my text to use if you like it ~ and the entire alphabet (in reverse for applique) so your quilt can say what’s on your mind! This is Your Quilt, do what makes you happy!Will you be posting progress?
Yes, I’ll post complete pictures monthly on my blog with my progress.How else can we follow?
I will post progress on instagram @ rebeccamaedesigns using #dearsonquilt. And also on the rebeccamaedesigns facebook page.What if I have questions?
You can ask questions through the facebook page (above) or on instagram (by commenting on my photos or tagging me on yours) or in the comment section of the website. If you ask in the website comments section, I will answer there so everyone can benefit so please check back.What type of applique will be used for the text?
I am using double sided fusible to applique most of the text, specifically steam a seam lite by the Warm Company.What other piecing methods will be used?
We will be mostly sewing straight piecing with a little bit of applique (other than the text).Do I have to have a son to participate?
Haha… of course not! This is your quilt! You can make it for the man in your life… or anyone really! Thanks for checking out this BOM! I”ll be back soon with Dear Son, Chapter 1!
Will there be a final pattern sent out? Or do we need to print out every month? I’m a pattern collector
Hi Cherrie, Each month I will update the pattern. At the end of the year you will have the entire pattern. Hope this makes sense! :)
