BettyB........you have just added another Gorgeous Snow Blossom block to our 2012 Calendar theme, BOM!! :D It is so lovely & I can see that you have done a great job putting it together, too. I am so proud of this block pattern & I am thrilled that so manny have joined in on all of the fun making it!! Thank you for sharing with all of us.
:D :D :D :D

Okay I must confess when this BOM began I didn't really "READ" thoroughly that it was "A Calendar BOM for 2012" which was plainly stated! lol As my hubby likes to point out...I glance get the gist of something and run with it. So I chose Batiks...I've a weakness for them! lol And I hated not doing the Feb block due to the block not working well for Batiks. I even went in to see if maybe I could and thought NOT! lol So I will be doing two BOM's for this swap...now to hunt for Jan and Feb fabrics so I can catch up! lol

Those Polar Bears just pushed me right over the edge! lol

I also confess yesterday I printed out the Feb block and just couldn't make myself make a kitty block! Why you say? Well the creator of the block Kim Noblin I know Kim and was her Moderator on Block Central Quilting Forum for many years...but I also took over her Yahoo Group named... wait for it.... Pretty Kitty Swaps. I ran that for a long time where each month we swapped 6.5" blocks of ... you got it... kitties! I have from 2004 up to maybe 2010 of kitty blocks I have never done anything with! lol Think it might be time to drag all those 6.5" blocks out and work on them! lol

Sorry to be long winded! lol Now to get to the machine and catch up before March roars in!

Hugs,
Cajun

CajunBear,
So glad that you are joining in on all of the fun, with the 2012 BOM. If you are still having trouble with your February Heart Cat block, you can pick four of your already made kitty blocks & put them together for this month. This block is for you & you can make it any way you want too!! We will be looking forward to seeing your finished blocks!! Have fun sewing.
:D :D :D :D

Thanks SulaBug! I will get them made and post them soon.

Hugs,
Cajun

Looks like you need to jump on the wagon with the UFO challenge going on right now...feels so good to get them done & I know those kitties need a good home!

This block is so pretty....maybe.....O but I promised myself that I won't start anything new til I get closer to caught up. Beautiful blocks, ladies! :)

Oh Chigger Holler Quilter come on & join all of us in the fun of making these beautirul blocks for 2012!! :D What's one little block a month? :D We would love to see your creation's too!! I do hope that you are making progress on catching up!! We thank you for checking in on us & appreciate your input any time.
:D :D :D :D

:D Another nice block. Congratulations on keeping up with two BOM's.

Well, I redid January's SnowBlossoms block and made a 'kitty' block for February block. I confess I am not a paper piecer - for some reason it's just not my thang! Sorry. Now applique, yes mam.. So my kitty blocks are appliqued. **on the one block it looks like the stitching is off, nope, that's just how the heart came out. I decided not to do the turq/brn prints for ea month.. so it's just an 'extra' block..:)

Looks great Jean! Love those fabrics!

Hugs,

I really like your block...:)

Great blocks.

I love your blocks. The kitties are adorable.

WOW............your second Snow Blossom block, for your second gift quilt, is absolutely darling!! :D I can just picture those two blocks put together. What a treasure you will have, when you are all done. This is so exciting, thank you so much for sharing with all of us!!

OMGoodness.........both of your blocks are wonderful!! :D Your January Snow Blossom block is really pretty & it looks like you have done a great job of paper piecing it too. Your little Snowmen are to cute for words. Also I "LOVE" your February Heart Cat block, it is amazing!! :D What a great job of applique' work you have put into making it. I wish I could learn to do as nice a job as you do. Thank you for sharing with all of us & enjoy making your March block, when it is posted.
:D :D :D :D

Love the applique kittens

Several of you suggested I go ahead & make 2 blocks each month since I made 2 Feb blocks. So yesterday I did go ahead & make a second Jan. block. Now to do March[ATTACH=CONFIG]316525[/ATTACH]

I love the fabrics you've used, the polar bears are perfect and the blue/green batik type fabric looks like trees, great choice

Mimi, very cute! the bears are darling. Actually making two blocks per month is a good idea. It would allow one to make a queen size quilt instead of a twin. In that case, I am seriously behind! :) Good job.

Oh, how cute!! :D I just love the fabric's that you have put together for your second Snow Blossom block. You are going to feel so smart by the end of the year with enough blocks for two quilt's!! :D Polar Bears is a favorite print of mine too. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
:D :D :D :D

My January 2nd Block
 

Okay now I've caught up to March! Here is my 2nd Snowblossom block.Hugs,Cajun

Cajunbear, Love your colors!

Wow!! Cajun Bear your second Snow Blossom block for January 2012 BOM project is just as beautiful as your first one. What a nice job you have done making this one too!! You must be so proud of yourself now that you are making two blocks for each month. Very nice work & thank you for sharing with all of us here on the Quilting Board.
:D :D :D :D

I am such a slacker. I was procrastinating because I wasn't sure what color scheme I wanted to use. I have decided that I love batiks and I feel like most batiks look good together. I am hoping to do all my blocks with batiks. Here is January at last...

Nice job, Hopetoquilt! You came up with a good color scheme.

Jeanine

Very pretty hopetoquilt!

hopetoquilt..........Your Snow Blossom block for the January 2012 BOM couldn't have turned out any nicer!! :D it's just beautiful & you are so right, Batik's always seem to go together quite well. I love the color combination you chose & your fabric's are very pretty. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!!
:D :D :D :D

hopetoquilt, your block is beautiful!

I thought I was so late in posting that people might not even see my block. Thanks for the compliments. The picture doesn't do justice to the fabrics. I love batiks. I plan on catching up this weekend with the other two blocks.

Beautiful!

YEAH..........I think you should make another set of block's, in Batik's. That would be so beautiful. Keep us posted if you decide too. Good Luck!!
:D :D :D :D

Here's my January Block. I finally bought a camera battery. The blocks look like they aren't square, but it's the angle that I took the photo from.



What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to upload a photo. I have not done this since the site changed.
