Hi all
hope everyone is enjoying making the March block
Here is mine. Can't wait to see everyone's blocks in different fabrics and colours.

LindaC

I really like the fabric's you chose for your block!! :D They look so nice the way you grouped them together. Thank you so much for picking the pattern for this month & getting all of us started on our new project for March. Good Luck everyone & have fun sewing. We will all be waiting to see everyone's blocks, as they are posted!!
:D :D :D :D

Here is my March 2012 Calendar block!! :D
 

Hi Everyone...........here is a picture of the block that I have put together for the month of March. You will notice that I chose to make the leaves of the clover in one piece, so I could showcase my beautiful Batik fabric. This fabric is one of my very favorite Batiks & I love it!! :D Get you machines started & get to sewing on your new block for the month of March.
:D :D :D :D

this block is cute!

both are very cute. I really like them. thanks for sharing.

love the pink in your batik Sulabug and the date and flowers, must try that

Linda, your block is beautiful. You did a wonderful job choosing the March BOM and also creating a tutorial for everyone.

SulaBug, I love your block. I love the batik fabric you used. I'm also going to use batik fabric for my blocks. You always do a wonderful job!

Thanks Lynn, my first tutorial, might just post it on my blog later on in the month

Beautiful blocks, ladies! Linda C, I love the many shades of green you've used, especially since you're from Ireland where shades of green is one of the things it's known for.

Sulabug, I love batiks, the colors are fabulous. I also love the embroidery and the date. So many ways to go with this one.:thumbup:

Cheryl and Linda, I love both your blocks!!

I do too. Not sure if I want all one fabric or multi fabrics.

Love the added touch of embroidering.. :)

Yes great Tutorial... thanks for doing such a great job. Love your pick of blocks am already having some creative fun with it. :)

So busy I took the easy way out this month and just did a quick Shamrock applique....

Busy or not your Shamrock block turned out just darling!! :D I love it & the pretty fabric's that you picked out, to put together. This is so exciting to see how all of the March blocks are going to turn out. Thank you for sharing with all of us & for making such a pretty block for March!!
:D :D :D :D

great shamrock fabric and really like your background fabric, looks like a tree bark pattern

hobbycat, your block is pretty. The fabric is bright and colorful and I love the crackle fabric!

Linda, I love that you added shades of browns and yellow to your shamrock, brings out a feel of a a field of clover and adds dimension. Very lovely!

Great blocks so far. Here is my version of the Shamrock.

Great fabrics so far.

Not sure if I want to use different greens or take advantage of my focus fabric and do the sections in one piece like Sulabug's. Still thinking on that.

love your shamrock fabric, making me jealous

Note to self: Remember to turn off the auto-flash
 

Hey everyone.. Im very happy with the results of making the March square, however Im not happy with the picture my camera took..darn flash messed it up. :(

I followed the pattern with the exceptions of making 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 log cabin squares for the leaf blocks. The stem block I was forced to paper piece because I didn't have enough material to make the cuts the pattern called for. I used one inch strips to make the log cabin blocks an I set my need all the way to the right to sew the one inch strips together.
The square measures 11.5 X 11.5 So I am trying to decide what fabric to frame it with to bring it to the 12.5 X 12.5 finished block. Now to go back and work on Jan and Feb blocks. I totally messed up Jan and have to redo it. Feb needs to be expanded to the finishing block size.

I haven't decided but I am thinking to try and hand quilt as I go each block and then join them. So once I get Jan and Feb caught up I think I will make my decision and start on the quilting of the blocks made so far. Will check back in to ooh and ahh everyones blocks as they are posted this month. :) :) :)

Fun fabric PokerDiva make sure to save a scrap to wear so the lil folk dont pop out and pinch ya :)

Cute idea. Looks great

Great job Jenniky. And I could use a pinch. Might wake me up.

This is such a brilliant block, really love your creativity with doing the log cabin, another one for the to do list

I love the log cabin block-what a great idea.:thumbup:

I thought I had added this thread to my email, but guess I didn't click everything. I love the blocks, as usual. Here it is only the first of the month, and I'm ready for April. I'm on another BOM but I think I'm going to make this block for that one too. And when I figure my embroider machine out, I'll add a little embelishments to some of my blocks. Since I'm making them for my granddaughters, I want to make two different blocks each month, but since we are part Irish, this is a good block to duplicate. So here is my March block.

Cool ... Love the batiks

Neat block....very inspiring....thank you for posting. and nice fabric choices.

I sat down this evening to get this fun and cute block done. I'm also doing the 50 Fabulous State Stars BOM, which I'm way behind in completing. So, I figured I would get this one done tonight so that I don't forget to do it this month while playing catch up with the other BOM.

Jenniky..........I must also say, "OOH and AHH" about your wonderful Shamrock block for the March 2012 BOM project!! How did you ever get the idea to use log cabin blocks for your main leaves?
