Below are Block of the Month programmes which have run their course and all monthly instalments are now available. Some are still on my Craftsy page just now, but I am slowly adding them to this webstie and moving them over - bear with me!
ALL PHOTOS OF REAL QUILTS ARE EITHER OF MY OWN OR MY CUSTOMERS' QUILTS
On Craftsy, I know sometimes it is a pain to go hunting for instalments for specific programmes amongst everything else on there. So if you would like to do one of these - and they are GREAT fun! - but either don't see the instalments available here yet, or don't want to engage with Craftsy, just email me on zelda@modernwelshquilts.com and I can invoice you and send you the files digitally once I've received payment.
The cost is $2 per month for all programmes.
Craftsy don't charge me fees for listing my patterns so please don't think this is underhand!! Nobody is missing out, honest.
All of my BoM progammes have dedicated Facebook pages where everybody engaged in working on them can meet up, share progress and generally have a sort of online 'Bee'. Fast friendships around the world have been formed through these and they are really tons of fun! If you would like to do any of my BoM programmes and would like to join the relevant group, just email me on zelda@modernwelshquilts.com and I can add you!

STAR PARADE
An unashamedly patriotic eight month programme in shades of good old 'Red, White and Blue'. The photo on the right shows my menfolk modeling my top immediately after I'd finished it whilst on holiday in Southern Spain!
The one below left is one of my customer's completed quilts which now hangs proudly in her hallway!
SNOWBLOOMS
A ten month programme which is really aimed at a confident quilter. All the smaller blocks are historic and have names which are botanical in nature, which gives the programme its name.
The design is shown on the left - a detail from one of my client's tops is on the right
REEF ANEMONE
This is a six month programme in response to comments from my customers that they wanted something quick. As a result it does pack quite a lot into each month! All the techniques used, however, are really simple and a confident beginner could tackle this fairly easily
The design is shown on the left, one of my customer's completed tops on the right
SIMPLE TRADITIONS
This is the first in the 'Traditions' range of block of the months from MWQ and is for people who really don't want to be challenged very much, but just have a nice relaxing 'quilt-in'. It is a ten month programme.
SUMMER TRADITIONS A 12 month programme which, being in the 'Traditions' range, is not at all taxing and designed to enable everybody to have an easy, trouble free quilt along.
BIBLE TRADITIONS
This is a 12 month programme using blocks with Biblical names, a central 'God's Eye' block and trailing vines. It is the most difficult of the Traditions quilts, but is not truly taxing.
DELFT DELIGHT
This was an eight month MYSTERY programme and we had so much fun together guessing what the final layout would be. I love teasing my customers sometimes!
O CHRISTMAS TREE
This is a quickie six month programme, with plenty of opportunity to customise it as regards fabrics and the option of leaving out the red twirly thingos at the side if you would like just the 'tree' Complete, it is around 96" x 112"
GOING BACK TO MY ROOTS The 'Tom quilt' as Tom Jones has a version of it on his bed in London! (see pic!)
This is a twelve month programme, with plenty of opportunity to customise it as regards sizes, because I've suggested various options. AS disp[ayed, it is a biggie - 92" x 120" (this is the size Tom has HAHA)
SPICE ISLANDS
This was a strange amalgamation of my wish to do a rainbow quilt and a series of dreams about films set in the Pacific, hence the name.
This is one of the few quilts where I really recommend you use just the fabrics I specify if you want to achieve the same effects. You can see the success my customers have had! The quilt measures around 96" square when finished
WATERMELON WALK
This was the result of me seeing a particularly luscious display of freshly cut watermelon at my local supermarket. I was so entranced by the colours!
The quilt measures about 96" x 104" when complete

SPRING FROLIC
A joyous eight month romp in springtime colours, reflecting the happiness of new life springing forth in a formal garden. It also has something of the feel of one of the old Baltimore Album quilts, but entirely in piecing. The photo on the right shows is one of my customer's completed top and the one below left is the same quilt, completed, on one of her beds.
SWEET NOTHINGS
A nine month programme which is a graded progress from easier blocks through to the more complicated.
The design is shown on the left - a detail from one of my client's tops is on the right
FINE DINING
This is a ten month programme and tells the story of a group of diners out for the evening in an upscale restaurant. It is a very large quilt (115" square approximately) and was the result of some of my customers asking for a large quilt. It is aimed at more experienced piecers.

RETURN TO TRADITION
This is the companion project to 'Simple Traditions' and is another ten month project. The two quilts together will give you a library of 60 blocks from which to choose to make your own future projects! Like all the Traditions range, it doesn't present too many challenges so is perfect for a relaxing creative time!
NEW BEGINNINGS
This programme runs for 12 monthsand is for anybody who really wants to learn to quilt. It is almost obligatory to join the Facebook group for this programme because A LOT of useful information has been placed on there and is a free resource for all members to use. Month 2 is free of charge and needs to be obtained from me personally.
NORDIC STARS
This is a 12 month programme. It is for everybody who really loves blue and white quilts and who doesn't want too hard a time every month constructing the blocks!
PICNIC TRADITIONS
This is an eight month whimsical programme, based on the colouring of my grandparents' old picnic hamper. Like the other Traditions programme it is not at all difficult and leaves plenty of room for visiting and relaxing in your quilting time.
BAY HOUSE
Another eight month programme, Bay House is not at all difficult to make, and leaves lots of clear space for detailed quilting once complete.
SUMMER BOUQUETThis is an eight month programme, giving you plenty of time to play with some beautiful happy summer colours. Complete, it is around 82" x 98"
SPRING MORNING
This was originally a mystery project and I had a lot of fun teasing all the participants with regard to the final layout. The secret's out now, but it is an eight month programme, and I'm sure you'll still have fun making it Complete, it is around 90" x 106"
SCHEHERAZADE
This was the result of me hearing a particularly stirring rendition of Rimsky Korsakov's piece on YouTube. Inspiration comes from from strange sources at times - although I wasn't expecting it to turn out so '60s funky'!
The quilt measures about 84" x 104" when complete
