Love the raindrop fabric!

Cajun.........I love the block that you have picked out for April 2013 BOM project. You did a great job making your's too. Your color choices look so nice together. I have mine finished & would also like to share my picture with everyone. This was a fun block to put together. Now I am ready for May's block!!

Lyn Hut.........What a beautiful color combination you have put together for your April 2013 BOM Double Aster block. I really like how the black & yellow looks together. You did good & thank you for your nice comments on the other blocks posted so far. :D :D :D :D

I have printed out all the instructions...wish me luck!

Great job...lovely fabric choices and placement......you have to let the rest of us catch up before you can construct you May block.....just saying. Lol

Great job everyone, love the yellows also. Good luck Difergi..... Judy can't wait to see yours!

Hugs,
Cajun

great block love your colors

I will have to wait untill I get home in Oregon before I can get this block done. Everything is packed so cant get to the machine.

I'm in , bbbuuuutttt. I am still hand piecing my Jan. BOM.. HAHAHA can I ever catch up? I had never tried hand piecing and decided to this time... only have 1 more eighth to finish. But, yesterday I stayed with the table runner I'm making and got most of the appliqueing done only 144 leaves to app. I feel good about what I got done so maybe I'll finish Jna. and get a start on Feb. Why have I never heard about spray glue for appliqueing? Have I messed up?

Well, at first I thought I did it wrong, took part of it APART- nope didn't do it wrong, forgot to turn it correctly to put corners on. Here it is, doesn't pop like I had hoped, but at least got it finished.[ATTACH=CONFIG]406066[/ATTACH]

Judy, don't have a clue what the May block will be. Maybe whoever will be doing it will give us a clue! Lol. MaMahen your block looks great!

Hugs,
Cajun

Nice blocks everyone! Have the directions printed...

Mama hen-that is a really pretty block...I think you should make mine (lol)...maybe Friday I'll give it a try...scared

It Pops for me.. LOL I love your colors and fabrics. :thumbup:

I agree.... An elegant block :)

Don't be scared, just take it slow & easy, Lay out all your pieces in correct placement then slowly & carefully piece your pieces together in sections. Really it is easy, once you make it you'll wonder why you fretted so long. Mamahen.

ok, here's mine[ATTACH=CONFIG]406245[/ATTACH]

Cat on Mac wonderful double aster. Love you color placement. :thumbup::thumbup:

Wow your quilt makes me think Homespun.. very very lovely. :thumbup::thumbup:

thx!:cool:

Finished also
 

Caroline, that's really pretty! I wouldn't have thought such a large print would work, but it really does!

Looking great Caroline. I would love to see a picture of all of your blocks done so far together. :)

Here you go Jenn. I auditioned the black, green and red fabrics for sashings. Did not like them as they were rather dull. So I pulled some hot pink strips from the scrap bin to pull the pink color in the roses. I am liking it now. It will be interesting to see what it will look like after December.

Here is my April block, I paper pieced this if any one wants the PDF just PM me.

Boy, they're all looking great. Dedemac, I sent you a PM.
Lovin' the dark BG.

Wow Caroline they look great together. Just a thought what if you used a black sashing to tie the blocks together inside and then used the pink as outside sashings... like a big picture frame ? Just a thought. :) I love the way the block patterns pop with your fabric on the black. :) Fantastic job anyway you do it. :thumbup:

If I had some black on white polkadot or check fabric I might audition them for sashings. That would make a wild quilt! But we have a long way to go to December.

WOW.........I am so amazed at all of the gorgeous April 2013 BOM blocks that have been shared in the last few days. Everyone is doing a fantastic job making their Double Aster blocks. All of the color combinations are so pretty & would make a beautiful quilt if all together. Keep up the good work everyone!! :D :D :D :D

At first I wasn't going to do this one, but I found myself with more time on my hands, plus having a good machine to sew on makes the work go quickly. This was started and finished in one day!

very VERY nice Labbee. love the colors. Thanks for letting me see this block. Keep up the great work

I am so glad that you decided to make this block after all, as it couldn't have turned out any nicer!! :D Your color combination is really nice too & to say that you made it in just one day, WOW. It's a beautiful Double Aster BOM block for the 2013 year. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
:D :D :D :D

Oh my gosh, I completed this month's block. I pp it thanks to Dede for the pattern. My printer must be off a little, so I just added log cabin strips to make it 12-1/2"
