I started a BOM at my LQS in 2009, enjoyed what classes I could attend but had medical problems and missed about half of the classes. Have everything here to finish up the quilt but have to many other projects in the works. Also have done several on line BOM's and the fabric is still in the packaging waiting for me to start them. It always seems like a good idea when I sign up and like the fabrics but just don't seem to get them done.
If you decide to do it you may really find you enjoy making your quilt that way. Would not worry about so many other people having a quilt made of the same fabric as I do. How many times have you looked at a magazine and bought the same fabric to make a quilt the is pictured?
