This was a great project if you like paper piecing. The pattern is very well made and the additional tips (videos) are SO helpful, no matter your skill level. There are a few challenging areas, but what would be the point if the whole top was easy!?! I’m not a huge fan of the paper piecing method but I feel extremely confident now, and that was my goal with this BOM.
Cathy C –
This was a fun, well designed BOM. I appreciated the option for multiple sizes, including table runners. I
Made the twin size with sashing. I did find that by cutting as I went (not squares), I had a lot of fabric left over.
Lorina –
A well designed pattern with very good instructions. The tutorial videos were excellent. I have done paper piecing many times before but I found Sheri’s technique led to better results with less frustration. The block a month format was a good pace.
Debi (verified owner) –
The pattern strongly resembles a corner of my sunroom so I had to do it! I am an experienced with foundation paper piecing but the pattern is so well written that I think a beginner could be successful.

Before finding this beautiful BOM, I had taken one FPP class that was one star block. I’m not fond of all the star points and wanted to try something more interesting. I took an online class for Sheri’s Picnic Petals quilt with my guild and knew she was an organized and excellent instructor. I love the look of this quilt and have learned so much about paper piecing and improved my technique every month with Sheri’s tips and instructional videos. I only have one month to go and have enjoyed the process. Its been the perfect pace for me! Thank you Sheri for this beautiful project. I hope to do the shells BOM since I live near the beach.

Just looked at November’s block and OMG there must be a thousand pieces. Good thing Sheri waited till now – I’ve mastered the cutting, labeling and prep system – but the fern/Christmas cactus this month is eye-watering! I really appreciate the cutting instructions and pictures telling me the order to sew pieces together. FYI I’m using Jennifer Sampou’s Chalk and Charcoal fabric selections. Love them all over again when the new block comes in.

I love making the BOM Greenhouse Garden Quilt. I have done some paper piecing in the past and love it. Sheri walks you through the whole sewing process. Her instructions are clear with diagrams. Then an added feature are the videos she sends with instructions and helpful hints for each block. I have downsized the quilt pattern because a wanted a smaller wall-hanging. I have completed 3 blocks so far and looking forward to sewing the rest. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Kelly Rourke (verified owner) –
I’m a beginner at paper piecing. Sheri’s patterns are expertly excited. The instructions are clear and concise.
I’ve learned so much and have moved on to more challenging patterns, even drafting some of my own.
If you’re considering trying this method, definitely consider Sheri as your first trial.
Melanie (verified owner) –
This is my first paper piecing project. I agree whole heartedly with the comments above about how well written the directions are and how helpful the videos are! Sheri really thinks through every single question you might have. I really appreciate that each block explains how to cut and tape large sections and not just once in the beginning. I appreciate the cutting guidance so much! And yes, I make mistakes but know with Sheri’s encouraging words on paper and video, to keep trying. I am enjoying the process so much at this point, I wish I didn’t have to wait for the next block!
Lisa (verified owner) –
I’m a fairly new quilter (self taught by you tube and Pinterest lol) and the instructions for this are excellent! I am really enjoying building my skills. I also love seeing everyone else’s interpretation! Very inspiring and well taught!
Connie Rubler (verified owner) –
The Greenhouse BOM has been so much fun. I just love the pattern. Sheri explains everything so clearly and her video tips each month are excellent. I am an experienced FPP quilter and have been doing it for years and I can definitely say that this is very enjoyable for those who are experience as well as those who are new to FPP because Sheri is an excellent teacher and she is always available by email and responds very quickly. I would definitely recommend taking this class! I can’t wait to finish my quilt!
Anneli West (verified owner) –
I love this block of the month. Sheri’s instructions and patterns are clear, straightforward and easy to follow. I love paper piecing so I’m always looking for patterns, Sheri’s patterns are the benchmark for great patterns. Thanks so much.
Gil Flynn (verified owner) –
When I saw the BOM it got me interested in sewing again as I had lost my sewing way for a while.
I am now thoroughly enjoying this challenge and I am amazed at all the of hard work and planning that has gone into the design of the quilt. The instructions are so easy to follow which helps. I love seeing it grow each month.
At the beginning of each month I look forward to receiving the latest instructions.
Thank you very much Sheri.

When I saw this pattern and the sample quilt at QuiltCon ’24, I just couldn’t resist signing up, and I’m so glad I did! The instructions are so well-organized and easy to follow, that I can’t wait for each new month’s pattern to arrive. It’s amazing how complex it looks, but how easy it is to piece, especially since Sheri figured out all the piece sizes to cut ahead of piecing.

I’m having so much fun with this BOM! This is my first foundation paper piecing project and its been great. The instructions and videos are extremely helpful!

This BOM experience has been by far, the best I have ever experienced. I was brand new to Foundation Paper Piecing and thought doing one block per month would be just the right amount of challenge. Sheri’s teaching methods are so good, so complete and organized so beautifully, that one can succeed without any consternation. Sheri has been available every step of the way, not only to answer my many questions but to offer encouragement. She has taken me on a wonderful journey that will impact my future quilting for years to come.
I am a self-taught quilter via YouTube, primarily, never having taken a formal class. Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill is someone I will return to again and again to continue to grow in my quilting and piecing. I cannot say enough about how positive my experience has been. I recommend anything that Sheri teaches/presents. She is outstanding!
Lynne (verified owner) –
I am really enjoying sewing this BOM! The patterns are extremely well written and with the helpful videos, I was easily (tho carefully) able to make the first 5 blocks. Thanks to Sheri for this fun make!
