no. it's 12-1/2"

i didn't explain myself properly.
i should have explained that i made the last round solid instead of piecing it according to the pattern.
i didn't want a square in the corner to create a square where this block met the other one in the top i used it for.

Thanks Patrice, I have my graph-it paper out trying to figure the piece size to make like Sulbug with out the outside edge. Just in cast I use sashing on the quilt top. Thank your for your quick reply. :)

Here's mine and all I did was make the center and then add a 2 1/2" border all the way around, then trimmed it to 12 1/2" block.[ATTACH=CONFIG]465109[/ATTACH]

Jaba.............Another wonderful block for your quilt collection. I still just love those fabric's together. They just make me smile, when I see your new blocks posted. What size quilt top do you plan on making with all of your blocks? Thank you too, for sharing with all of us today!!

Patrice...............I looked at your Small Top & I love it too. I don't know why I couldn't think of something like that!! :D Maybe I have just been too busy putting together my Grandmother's Flower Garden blocks to think of such a neat idea. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
:D :D :D :D

All the blocks look great. It's amazing how different color schemes make a totally different overall look!


Well...I changed mine. I am using 3 fabrics and couldn't find a fourth fabric in my stash that I was willing to use.
Eventually, I'll have to add a 4th. fabric but I will have to shop for it. For this month's block, I used one color for the center instead of the 9-patch. I also changed my unit dimensions and did the block a bit differently than described but it works out to 12.5"x12.5". Worked for me.


Edited to add pic. Pic taken with cell phone and doesn't show true colors. Green fabric is a bit brighter than pictured.

tapper..........your March BOM for 2014 is wonderful!! :D You have done a great job changing it to fit the colors that you are working with. I think it will work out very nicely with the rest of your blocks for this year's BOM project. I only used three fabric's in my block too. Keep up the good work!!
:D :D :D :D

Beautiful blocks...there's going to be some really pretty quilts when all is finished. I actually have 5 fabrics for this quilt in these colors, but hoping to only use 4 for the top & the other for backing along with a coordinating stripe I have. I hope to use the stripe for the binding too. So, just sticking to the 4 for the front, if possible. And it worked out well for this block.

judy363905 03-07-2014 08:18 PM

Vicki. Lovely fabrics. It will be fun to follow your block this year. :)

Here's my March block. It is much faster to select fabrics when you're using a primary focus fabric.

SewExtremeSeams 03-20-2014 03:34 AM

Very pretty Joyce!

NIICHMOM 03-20-2014 07:55 AM

amcatanzaro 03-20-2014 04:33 PM
