i bought a west of baltimore BOM from keepsake quilting & it cost $24.95/mo for 12 months PLUS 1 month for the corners and the backing - all together i have about $500 invested. Aghhh. And to top it all off - i only have 3 blocks finished in two years. that's my next thing to finish next year. i'm going to cut out & start another block next week while i'm on vacation.
