Introducing our Quilt Block of the Month!

Here at Home Grown Quilts, we now have an adorable quilt block of the month! 

At the end of 12 months you'll have completed twelve 15-inch blocks. 

The name of our quilt is Everything Comes Up Roses- and is made up of 'traditional' blocks.

Here is block #1- 

We are cutting a limited amount of kits- so if you are interested in making one of these quilts, please call us and reserve your kit. 208-983-0254. If you are out of town and want to participate in the block of the month program, we'll gladly ship it to you!... call for details!

Kits for the blocks are $15 per month.

February Lotto Block

Look how cute our February lotto block is! So full of love!!
For $1.50, we'll supply the pattern and the white background fabric- and you get to put in which ever dark, medium, or light red fabrics to make the heart. It's an awesome way to dig into your scrap stash.... or pick up a new must-have fat quarter here. :) 

At the end of February, we'll draw out the name of anyone who brought in their completed block, and that person is the winner of ALL of the blocks!

Are you feeling lucky?
