Finished my block this morning. My mom's birthday was on St. Patty's day and this block has lots of special meaning to me!

Tweety2911, I love your shades of green batiks-beautiful. I also really like the batik background fabric. Did you change the edges of the shamrock? It seems to have more shape-anyway, it looks very nice.

pghpat, your wall hanging is so pretty! Is that what you are going to do with all of your BOM blocks? I think that's a very clever idea.

Anael and Nicky - is the book different enough from Carol Doake's Foundation Factory to be worth buying as well? It retails at A$45.00 here (have seen it on special for A$38) so would be interested to hear your opinion before considering it.
It's been great seeing everyone's blocks so far - they are all fabulous. Foundation Factory is software from Quiltpro.com, and there are different modules you can buy. Several of them are companions for Carol Doak's books. Each is around $20, but sometimes on sale for $14.95. You can download it instantly! With FF there are no instructions or cuttting charts, BUT you can print the block any size and the seam allowances are correct. With the book, I often enlarge or reduce the patterns with my printer/copier, but then I have to adjust the seam allowances, which also get enlarged or reduced. So there are advantages to both. I hope this helps. Personally if I could only have one, I would choose the software. I get all my quilting books from Amazon.com, and usually can find them in good used condition for a great price. |

I am enjoying the blocks of the month. I even had my handy guy (oh, he's so handy) make me a rack to hang the blocks every month.

Sulabug, I think the pattern Nicky used is from the book 365 Foundation Quilt Blocks from Linda Causee. I have the book, itīs great, never made a block but I love looking at it and need to find the courage to start one of them!

OH MY GOSH.....I thought I was posting small pictures. On the camera with my Xoom it has picture sizes by pixels and I had no idea how many pixels would be equal to 640 x 480...the recommended size. The default is 5 pixels and I choose 3....too BIG.
