New free BOM quilt pattern for 2012 - and a giveaway to celebrate!!

I'm so excited to share my latest free BOM quilt with you today! 
This BOM will be spread over ten months, January-October, with a new block shared on the 3rd of each month (so mark that in your calendar!). 

"Promises & Borders" is a design that can be used in three ways. 
The Promises are Scripture promises from God's Word, a new one each month, and if you want to you can use the blocks just the way they are. 
The second way you can use this BOM is to use just my block Borders and add your own verse or quote in the centre, making the quilt a very personal one for you.
The third way is to use the blocks in different projects - on cushions, framed, or a pieced quilt centre perhaps.

The "Promises & Borders" quilt has nine main feature blocks, plus a row of applique and wording, and finishes at 46" x 50".
The first block is a promise that has been underlined in my Bible for the past 18 years;
Can you see how easy it would be to add your own verse or quote inside the border?
 
You'll be piecing the blocks as we go, and I'll share all the fabric requirements, cutting instructions, and threads used before you begin.
You can download the full quilt requirements HERE.
You can download Block 1 - Jeremiah 29:11 HERE.
