dublb, I don't know if these blocks are easier than the PC ones. From what I understand they use the mentioned blocks as a base for a monthly theme so it might be a bit harder than you think. But one block a month is easier! It's nice to make this one for your DM.
@quiltmom: a list of my BOMs: Dear Jane, Sylvia Bridal Sampler, Farmers Wife Pony Club Sampler, Just Takes 2, monthly BOM here on the board, HGTV BOM, Funky Chickens from fatcat and now this Quilt Story one
Enough to keep me busy LOL. I'm still working on Oh My Stars from Planet Patchwork (started when all sets were posted).
