The Block-of-the-Month series features 2 new block lessons per month (20 blocks total). The last 2 months will cover layout, sashing/borders, basting, quilting, and binding- encouraging students to finish their quilts. There are THOUSANDS of quilters all over the world participating. Isn't the online quilting world cool?
There's a very lively discussion forum (3000 threads) where students can ask questions, and receive answers from both Amy and other students. Most of the students post photos of their finished blocks, or fabric choices in the gallery or their discussion thread- very similar style to a Flickr group.
I personally love Amy's slashed blocks- what a great way to start off the series!

Craftsy is great. I joined Amy's BOM and love how she presents everything. I have my fabric but HAVE to get started putting things together.
Craftsy offers great courses and I've purchased several of them and have not been disappointed. They also have workshops and now have patterns available from lots of people.
GO Craftsy!
I'm loving it but making myself finish some other projects before I start really working on it :)
thank you

This series looks awesome! It's cool to see other people doing this in video since I'm self-taught and just do it the way I feel is right.
I'm an Ellison Lane follower.
Looks cool! I will check it out again once we move and settle into our first house. Right now we are packing and cleaning like crazy...so basically not having any fun. Maybe this will be my reward.
im an avid ellison lane follower!
I'm looking forward to this, i'll hopefully participate as much as possible!
Just signed up for the Craftsy BOM series and already watch the introduction. Can't wait to get started!! Thanks for blogging about it :)
I'm already a follower, and enjoying your blog :)
I've been looking at that course over on Craftsy but I already have SO many things going, do I really want to start a new project? YES!

I joined Craftsy BOM with Amy! The tutorials are fantastic and her blocks are so cute. I am a bit behind but that is one of the great things about it...you can watch the tutorial anytime you have the time. ♡

I love how Craftsy uses videos- I learn best from watching and this is pure genius! Amy is a marvelous teacher and so getting to watch her explain a block makes all the difference in the world :)
It looks like a lot of fun, but I have so many projects in my head and on my table that I can't add one more at the moment.

I've signed up for the BOM and have enjoyed watching the videos. Now if I can just get to the sewing part!

Looks great. Like others, I have a lot on my plate right now, but am a follower of Craftsy, so am keeping up with what's new.
I'm also a follower of your great blog!!
What a great idea! I could really use something like this, since for whatever reason I am the worst at following patterns! ;)

Thanks!

Thank you!
September's lesson -- curved piecing -- looks intriguing. That's something I've always wanted to master.
I've joined Craftsy BOM but I've only done one block so far. I'm hoping to catch up this weekeend.
I follow your blog on Bloglovin. I hope that counts!
I love the Craftsy BOM because it introduces a new technique each month and the videos are like tutorials that I can watch as many times as I need to get it right!
I'm one of the thousands doing the BOM on crafsty :)
I follow your blog too!
My first BOM is Amy's and I"m loving it! I can't imagine how much work it is for Amy to keep up with all the participants, but I guess it just proves how awesome she is!
I follow your blog!
Wonderful blocks so far. Di xo

I've been a member on Craftsy for a number of months now, LOVE THEM! Although I had you in my Google reader, I think I've become a follower via email as well.
Thanks for the chance to win, love FQS!!
I think it's a terrific course, especially for beginning quilters, but still fun for the rest of us.
This BOM Does look like fun, and even doable for a beginner like me! I have really enjoyed looking around at the other courses and info to offer at Craftsy too!
I'm an Ellison Lane follower! Thans Fat Quarter Shop, for such a nice giveaway!
Great blocks! The slashed block is my favourite - I'd like a whole quilt made of these!!
I'm a happy follower!
The slashed blocks look so fun. I might have to make those. Wouldn't that be a fun quilt?
I am a follower. Thanks for the chance.
I'm already doing the Craftsy BOM and having so much fun! Your right Amy makes it so much easier - I can vouch for this since I've never quilted a block before January. Thanks for the chance.
I'm already a follower of your blog through my feed. Love it. Thanks for the chance.
This is one of those things on my 'to do' list, however I've noticed that a bear making friend has signed up and is sewing along, she did say something about me nudging her into something recently, guess that was it! She's having loads of fun anyway :o)
I follow you too :o)
I’m loving this Blog trail – makes me want to stop work and start sewing though. And it’s only 9:58 am!
I'm following too!
I'm loving the craftsy bom blocks - they're great :) thanks for the giveaway !

That's exciting, I'm signing up because it would be a nice thing to do- once I've got my other projects out of the way of course.

The course has been great fun. I'm making 2 quilts to give to friends.

I've signed up the class.. Thanks!! I think the BOM will create a modern quilt.
I'm a follower!
some of the blocks are so different from one another it will be interesting to see them in the finished quilt. I don't love them all so I'm picking the ones I like the best, making them and then coming back to the others later--it's great that you can go back and not have to do it quick before the video's gone--very cool.

For the most part I am a self taught quiter...or should I say, an internet blog taught quilter. The Craftsy BOM is a great way to expand my skills. Now to find the time!
I am a follower. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
I am participating in Craftsy's Block of the Month class. It is fabulous!
I might have to jump in ok this since I've just finished up my wips. Looks fantastic!
I follow.
I have been following along with Amy's BOM and just love the way she's teaching and the blocks so far. Having access to the videos as well as written instructions works great for me. I'm one that is a very visual learner but also love to have instructions near me to follow along step by step so with her BOM it's the best of both worlds.
I have been to your site many times and was sure that I was already a follower but the GFC showed that I wasn't. I am not as I've clicked that little button and am for sure a follower now. Thank you for the giveaway.
i'm so excited about the craftsy bom! i finally have my fabric and plan to get started this week. turns out the fabric i wanted was at my lqs all along, but i kept looking further afield. oh, well, at least i have it now. :)
i'm a follower! u know how much i love your blog.
I'm taking Amy's course and love it! My favorite so far is the slashed blocks too! Of course, I need to do this month's blocks. :)

It looks wonderful and I'm now signed up for the BOM, yay!!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and for the wonderful giveaway :)

I subscribe to Craftsy emails etc, but I am too tight to pay for anything, as the web has so much else for free, sorry Craftsy x
Of course I follow - silly question!
I love the idea of this BOM - I definitely learn better when I can watch someone rather than just reading about how to do it. Thanks for spreading the word about this!
I'm already a follower.
I love following this hop along! I am actually signed up for this course...though I haven't started working on the blocks yet! I did watch the first couple videos. I think it will be very helpful as I learn new techniques and especially the finishing parts!
I am also a lurker, now turned follower! :) (I read blogs, sometimes comment--always forget to join--even though they are bookmarked!)

I think this sounds like a great course! I actually signed up for it right away, I just haven't started yet. Still trying to decide on my fabric :)
The videos are awesome!
This sounds like a lot of fun. I've never tired to learn by video before but will check it out during some much needed me-time.
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I just subscribed to your blog, too :)
What a great resource, love it - thanks for sharing.
Looks like a great idea. I have to go check it further next.

Love Craftsy - our quilt guild is doing the block of the months!
I have been doing this BOM and am really enjoying it. Allthe blocks are ones that I haven't done before.
I think BOM clubs are such a good idea - I've been working on a kingsize quilt for months now and I like to take a break and do something quick and different, so I don't get bored. Of course...my spring quilt may not be done until August!
I'm a new follower!
I have already signed up for Craftsy BOM-love Amy and what she is doing here! Such talent!
And or course, I'm a loyal ELQ follower :)
I follow :)

I love those videos. It gives more help than plain tutorials and pictures. Also it is more personal :)

I found Amy's BOM and began at the start. She has great ideas and a group of us are having a great time making the blocks. We can't wait for each month's new one to come up.
You're right, the web has been the best for discovering new creations!
