| Ideas for GE-201 Indian Peaks Block of the Month The Indian Peaks pattern is a great pattern to use for a 4- month block of the month. The great advantage is that participants would only need to buy one pattern which retails for $9.95, which keeps the cost of the kits down. That is sometimes a turn off for customers when they add up the total cost for the quilt. It is also a shorter BOM program with only 4 months which will eliminate dropout and encourage participants to finish. First month would be fabric for Block 1, month 2 would be for Block 2, month 3 would be for Blocks 3a and 3b and the last month would include all the finishing fabrics, borders and binding. Indian Peaks Class – 4 sessions The pattern is a great choice for a class with its full color illustrations. It is great for quilters that would like the atmosphere of a classroom for their first attempt to sew a bed sized quilt. The length of each class could vary from 3-5 hrs, depending on how much homework would be needed. The first 3 classes could be shorter and then more time could be allowed for the last class. Class 1: Block 1 Class 2: Block 2 Class 3: Block 3a and 3b Class 4: Assembly and borders Kits Take advantage of the fabric ordering guide for the Mementos fabric line and offer kits for the pattern in either the Big N’ Rich or the Light N’ Airy color way. The illustrations inside show the actual fabrics used in the quilt. The pattern also has 2 smaller projects in it, Wildflower Medallion and Indian Blooms Runner. They would make excellent samples in your store to compliment the larger quilt. Contact us for the fabric ordering guide and kit cutting instructions.
