Oh, practice is so important. This BOM is the first and only time I have ever done this technique. I really need practice. I call this English paper torture. [ATTACH=CONFIG]354196[/ATTACH]

Carol.........What an excellent paper pieced block for your first try!! :D I am so proud of you for trying & making such a nice block. I promise you that the more you try this method, the more you are going to like it!! :D When I tried my first one I thought what a disaster, but stayed with it & now I prefer pp'ing over any other methed. Thank you for sharing your wonderful block with all of us today. Nice Work.
:D :D :D :D

Wow everyone is posting some really HOT BLOCKS !!! :D Im still sitting on the fence trying to pick my fabrics. :confused: So I guess it time to get down off the fence and make some choices and get busy. :thumbup:

Jenniky..........Yes, get off that fence & select your fabric's, okay? :D I can hardly wait to see how your block turns out too!! Good Luck & have fun with it!!

Here's August............hard to believe we only have four more to go! Picture looks a little blurry. Ooops!

Kris - I love the flip flop sandals material... yes that so says August. Brilliantly done. :thumbup:

Im off the fence and working on mine at the moment. The phone is ringing off the hook so I dont know that I will finish this evening. LOL
But I will share for tomorrow for sure. :) :)

Jennily............I just love your finished August block for the 2012 BOM Calendar project. I just read you new instruction's for the glue method & it sounds really good. You are presenting such a wonderful lesson in QAYG quilting & I know that we all enjoy it so much. I haven't started mine yet, but I am getting anxious to do so. Thank you for all of your terrific lesson's & thank you for sharing your beautiful August block.
