Hi, I too am making the dissapearing BOM quilt. When I found your post and saw that others were in the same predicament, I sat down a figured out the "recipe" for the remaining quilt blocks.

Here is Septmember:
(note: I am using the work "block" to refer to the 4 1/2 inch blocks, of which 9 are assembled for each month's Big Block.)

The four corner blocks each consist of a 2.5" x 4.5" cream rectangle joined to the same size brown rectangle.

The center blocks consist of a 3 3/8" pink square joined to 4 red triangles. The 4 triangles are made by a diagonal cut of two 2 7/8" squares.

The 4 remaining blocks require:
4 cream rectangles 2.5x4.5" each
4 brown check triangles made by two diagonal cuts of a 5 1/4" square
8 red triangles made by 1 diagonal cut through each of four 2 7/8" squares.

October:
Corner blocks (see april for a picture, it is the same pattern)
8 cream squares, 2.5" each
4 cream triangles made by 1 diagonal cut in each of two 2 7/8" squares
4 red triangles made from 1 diagonal cut in each of two 2 7/8" squares
8 brown triangles made from 1 diagonal cut in each of four 2 7/8" squares

Center block:
1 pink 3 3/8 square
4 brown triangles made from 1 diagonal cut in each of two 2 7/8" squares.

Remaining 4 blocks:
four 3 3/8 red squares
8 cream triangles made from 1 diagonal cut in each of four 2 7/8" squares
8 brown triangles made from 1 diagonal cut in each of four 2 7/8" squares

November (see Feb block, it is very similar:
Corner blocks:
4 cream triangles made from 1 diagonal cut in each of two 4 7/8" square
2 red triangles made from 1 diagonal cut of a 4 7/8" square
2 brown triangles made from a diagonal cut of a 4 7/8" square

Center block:
1 brown check 3 3/8" square
4 cream triangles made from a diagonal cut in each of two 2 7/8" squares

remaining 4 blocks:
2 brown triangles made from a diagonal cut of a 4 7/8" square
2 red triangles made from a diagonal cut of a 4 7/8" square
2 brown triangles made from TWO diagonal cuts of a 5 1/4 " square ( this will make 4 triangles, you will only use two)
2 red triangles made from TWO diagonal cuts of a 5 1/4 " square ( this will make 4 triangles, you will only use two)
4 cream triangles made from two diagonal cuts of a 5 1/4" square

December:
4 corner blocks:
4 cream triangles made from a diagonal cut of two 4 7/8" squares
4 red triangles made from a diagonal cut of two 4 7/8" squares

Center block:
1 brown check 3 3/8" square
4 cream triangles made from 1 diagonal cut in each of two 2 7/8" squares

remaining 4 blocks:
4 cream 3 3/8" squares
16 brown triangles made from a single diagonal cut in each of eight 2 7/8" squares


Corner pieced blocks for border (6 1/2" squares)
4 brown and cream 6.5" blocks:
4 cream 2.5" squares
16 cream triangles made from one diagonal cut of eight 2 7/8" squares
16 brown triangles made from one diagonal cut of eight 2 7/8" squares

4 brown check and cream 6.5" blocks:
4 cream 2.5" squares
16 cream triangles made from one diagonal cut of eight 2 7/8" squares
16 brown check triangles made from one diagonal cut of eight 2 7/8" squares

I hope this is intelligable! Quilters love a challenge!
