Fresh Lilac BOM update
[ATTACH=CONFIG]570568[/ATTACH]
I know there are lots of newbies here and I want to help them as the experienced ones have helped me.
I had no idea what I was getting into when I ordered a BOM (block of the month). I thought it was $29.95, but it turned out to be that much each month. They had my Credit Card number and I was not able to get out of it.
So the first one came and I cut the pieces and began to sew. Nothing turned out. And I put it all in a tub and set it on a shelf.
Flash forward 2 plus years and many hours watching videos and buying new rulers and listening to Bonnie Hunter's quilt cams and having all these wonderful experienced quilters on the board help me.
So it turned out that my machine was wrong, my needle was too fat, my seams were wide enough to land a 747 on and my pressing was dreadful.
About 5 days ago I began ripping out all the fat seams and doing it right. The three blocks in the picture are not perfect, maybe a C+ grade. But they are very close to 12 1/2 x 12 1/2.
Has anyone else tried a BOM called Fresh Lilacs? One very kind member offered me more fabric for any opps-es. I had worried about that and bought both an extra layer cake and bundle of half yards.
