I had some time before seen a tutorial somewhere online on making these and had taken screen-shots of the templates for reference. I'm sorry I can't recall where I saw it, so can't credit the author, but it was probably you-tube.
I did find after a couple of months of the BOTM I was modifying most of the monthly blocks
. For instance one month was to be an appliqué basket, which I didn't really like, but I did want to practice the technique for making the handles, so I made several handles and wove the into an appliqué celtic knot! So my final product bears little resemblance to the Craftsy published quilt
.
Cheers, K
Siodach, I should have modified the blocks also. I signed up for that BOTM and found the course was flat, some nice tips, but I did not like doing the larger blocks. After seeing yours I might go back and take another look at the course. I only got one or two months actually finished.
