The following items are only a tiny sampling of our blocks of the month. We will be adding new arrivals and older stock items as time permits.

General BOM Rules:

1. Finishing fabrics (borders, sashing, backing) are offered at additional charge. Each BOM may have a set of finishing instructions and fabric. These will be offered to you at the beginning or the end of the series and prices will vary according to specific project . It is your responsibility to notify us if you DO NOT WANT the finishing kit for your particular BOM.

2. If you want to sign up for ANY Blocks-of-the-Month we need your credit card number and expiration date on file OR you can pay by check for the entire series in in advance. Shipping is $3.50/month by US Mail (overseas $8.50) unless you pick up your kits at Heartbeat Quilts in person each month. If you sign up for 2 BOMS you pay only 1 shipping fee (except overseas)!!

3. All our BOM members are put on a schedule starting January, June or September. When you sign up we put you on the schedule closest to your sign up date. Consequently, sometimes you will possibly get your first few months at one time or maybe wait a month or two before you receive your first monthly kit. Call or ask questions if you are confused (I am).
