Red Elegance is such a beautiful line of fabric – it will be a joy to work with in doing the Block of the Month Mystery this year. I am so looking forward to this year’s BOM. Thanks for the opportunity!
Karen Tucker
I’m ready, Red is my favorite color and these fabrics are gorgeous.
Pat
Looking forward to this year’s BOM quilt. I have always avoided sewing curves in quilts. This year’s quilt has given me the courage to try.
Bev Bolduc Aldridge
Red is not a color I use much however some of these fabrics I do like. Making this years mystery quilt is still to be decided as Mu budget has been cut way down and I cannot buy extra tools or much fabric.
shirl
I am excited about starting this BOM mystery quilt with the beautiful red fabric. Nancy’s instructions are always easy to follow and prcise which means I CAN make this quilt. Thanks.
Janet
Love the reds and the fabric designs are gorgeous.

The Red Elegance collection is truly lovely and this year’s quilt promises to be a beautiful finished project.

The red is very pretty. I have never done a red quilt before.

I’m excited to get started on the new block of the month. Love the red and white look.
P. Donaldson
I love this red fabric. I know I will love the quilt. It will be my first time doing a mystery quilt.
Linda Janovitz
I really like this line of fabric but my fabric budget is limited too. Maybe the jelly roll or 10 inch stack will have to do and make a lap quilt. I haven’t decided but I would integrate some of my white on white in the mix.
Dixie
Looking forward to making the blocks using the red fabrics.
Lorraine Alves
The blocks are creative and beautiful. Using the fabric collection presented will make each block to come extra special.
Bridget
I think it will be another great quilt from NZP!

Reds are my favorite color. I think these will make a beautiful quilt. Anxious to start this project!

This BOM quilt with red fabrics seemed so inviting to me. Happy to join along although I have only made 2 quilts and never done a BOM.
Bonnie
I love Nancy’s Block of the Month Mystery Quilt Series. I look forward to a new block and informative tutorial each month. The Red Elegance fabric is very beautiful and will make a lovely quilt for the new year. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Bock of the Month is a fun concept and the Red Elegance fabric collection is just gorgeous. Combined the various shapes with the fabrics, one can produce some really beautiful blocks.
Shika Jones Pollad
I’m intimidated by circles in quilting. I’m certain the tutorials by Nancy give great tips on how to conquer these. The fabrics are a beautiful choice and I’m looking forward to working with them.
