Hi,

Im new to the board and this is my first BOM here (my Quilting Guild also does BOMs). I'm also a novice quilter, so I found the Housewife block to be pretty challenging. I still find small HSTs difficult to get evenly-sized. It was going together well until I got to the last stage, putting the top and bottom strip on, at which point I realised I had gone wrong with the width somewhere - oh well

I'm posting my picture anyway, so that I won't be too embarrassed to post it later, after I've seen everyone else's (with better matching points, I'm sure!)

I'm working on a sampler quilt in these colours, using the BOMs from here and from my Quilt Guild, and test blocks from any block swap I join. The bright blue batik and the pale blue blender are my main colours, and I'm also using a couple of other fabrics as accents.

Looking forward to seeing everyone else's!

Jan
