I wonder how to find one online for free? I began reading here and thought I had never done one. Then I remembered I bought a flag of the month which came in the mail and occasionally had a candy or some nice surprise. The owner was so nice, I really want to go the distance to find her shop again. But, I never made a one of them. I think they would be nice expanded into quilt squares. The flags are darling, just not high on my list of things to do. If I found a bom on line free I'd be tickled pink. I like to choose fabric because it is a chance to be original and personal. Also, being kind of a Monk detective type (it's a blessing.... and a curse) why is it called BOM and not BOTM block of THE month. I associate bom with "This is ruined. I bombed." Wording does this to me.
