WOW!! :D Thank you so much for posting both sets of your 2012 Calendar theme blocks for all of us to see. They all go together so well. Keep up the good work, as we can't wait to see them all finished at the end of the year.
:D :D :D :D

I am so glad that you are sharing your Maple Leaf quilt with all of us today. It is so gorgeous & the color's all play together so well. I love the little maple leaf blocks within your larger blocks. What a great pattern. Wonderful idea's for all of us to keep in mind.
:D :D :D :D

Here is my Sept. block!
 

I have my Sept. block done!

Linda..........What a Gorgeous Maple Leaf block!! :D Where did you ever find your fabric with the leaf veins in it? It is so pretty & I love the border that you put around it. Very nice & Fallish for sure. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
:D :D :D :D

Thanks Sulabug and JeanieG! I purchased the leaf fabric from a small quilt shop in Columbus, Ohio about 5 years ago. I intended to do an art quilt with it, but it never happened. It has been in my stash ever since waiting for the perfect project! The green border I bought this year at the Cincinnati Quilt Show.

My Sept block is finished. Can you tell the leaf fabric is actually feathers? Also, my stem came out a bit thin, but at least it still looks like a leaf!

Pat H............OMGoodness, your September Maple Leaf block is absolutely gorgeous!! :D The feather fabric just makes it stand out. I love all of the color's in your leaf fabric & the border's that you chose to add to it. Very nice work. I hope you continue to make some of the rest of the 2012 BOM blocks with all of us. We are glad to have you join in. Thank you for sharing today, as usual we just "LOVE SHOW & TELL"!!
:D :D :D :D

Thanks, SulaBug! I'm looking forward to next month's block already! October..hmm..Halloween is in October...do I see a pumpkin in our future?

Here is my Leaf block for September. I enjoyed making it, maybe a full quilt is in the future - I really like how it looks in a quilt.

OK. gorgeous block and like Jeanie, I love the fabric you used!

Yes, that fabric makes a really fun block.

WOW!! :D Oh yes, I can also see a future quilt with this pattern & your gorgeous fabric. Your Maple Leaf block for 2012 BOM turned out beautifully. Very nice work & I am sure an inspiration to the other's too!! Thank you for sharing with all of us today.
:D :D :D :D

QM WOW --- great quilt.. looks to me that I could pick up several of those leaves from your quilt.. very nice fabric choices..:)

Jean - beautiful block! It would, indeed, make a fantastic quilt!

I love both your quilts, Bibliostone. Are the June blocks machine embroidery? Love the way you have changed the 2 up a bit. The same, yet different.

My September Block
 

I decided to do a different variation of the leaf block. The pattern came from Quilter's Cache and I really enjoyed making it even though I chose a fabric way to red and had to make another 6-inch block in another fabric for it to look right!

Hope you like it.

Hugs,
Cajun

Hope we like it, that's an "UNDER STATEMENT"!! :D :D Your September Maple Leaf block turned out really nice. I love all of the colors that you made your leaves with. They go together really well. I like the pattern too. Isn't it fun to see what we can find that will fit into our Calendar BOM blocks for 2012? I am so proud of everyone & the blocks you have all been making & sharing with us. Keep up the good work.
:D :D :D :D

Thank you! Yes, both of them contain some machine embroidery. The bride and groom are embroidery on the red & white block. The love birds and the words are embroidery on the other. The birdhouse is applique.

Since I'm doing more than 1 block per month I decided to use the block from Quilters Cache. Had to retake the picture of the one since it didn't show up well on my floor. The colors really are brighter than they came out in the picture. Everyone's blocks are great. Lookin' good y'all!

WOW!!.............Your blocks have all turned out great. Fantastic fabric's & color's, they are going to make wonderful quilts, when the year is over. Will you be making 4 quilts, with all of your blocks? It will be so fun to see how they all turn out. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
:D :D :D :D

Sulabug, I'm not sure if I'm going to do 4 or 3. I have 3 granddaughters but thought I'd like one too. Bibliostone has inspired me to maybe go ahead and start at least laying them out.

Go for it mimi.............I think you deserve one too!! :D I just know that your granddaughter's are going to be thrilled with the ones you are making for them. What a treasure they will have forever. I can wait to see them all put together!!
:D :D :D :D

Finished my BOM for Sept...Decided to do one from my PP'ing book

I got my block done tonight. Have to love Fall!

Good job ladies. I didn't to August... too many points for me. So, I need to get started finding a Star block to do in Yellows and such for the sun... So I can be caught up. I've been playing with my applique stitches on my new machine... Did a cute snowman block, and a Christmas tree... and now half done piecing a Santa... I may have a Christmas sampler when I am done. LOL...

Hey... BTW>.. where can I get the pattern and instructions for the BOM for March? I'm headed backwards since I started in July. It is a Clover block I believe. Thanks.

WOW!! :D Look at those bright & beautiful fall color's that you have made your September Maple Leaf block out of!! I love it, it just pops with "Here I am Fall"!! :D Your paper pieced pattern, looks like it was fun to make too. Nice work hobbykat & thank you for sharing with all of us today.
:D :D :D :D

Another beautiful September Maple Leaf block!! :D Your fabric is so pretty & has just the right color's for Fall too. You have done a wonderful job piecing it together & making your great block. I am so glad that you have shared with all of us today. You know how we love our "SHOW & TELL"!! So far everyone sure has been busy with this month's blocks. Keep up the good work.
:D :D :D :D

Hi Kensington............it took me a few minutes but I found the link for you, to the March Shamrock BOM block for 2012. If you have any troubles getting this pattern just let me know & I will help you out further!! Good Luck with your block.
:D :D :D :D

Thanks Sulabug... I got right on it, and finished it while watching a movie. LOL. I should post a pic. It was really quick and easy as I used one fabric rather than cutting it all up. But, I really like it.

WOW, you are one fast sewer!! I am so glad that you found it okay & was able to get caught up. If you need any more help just holler, as one of us will be happy to find it for you if we can.
:D :D :D :D

Yeah... I would have posted it last night, but by the time I finished watching the movie and cleaning up my craft room from making a big fall wreath... I just wanted to post to thank you and go to bed. LOL. It's 12 1/2' and I love the Kelly Green for March.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]361507[/ATTACH]

Like I said, I am headed backwards to catch up... Last night was the Clover block for March... These are my February and my August blocks, that I did today. I am workind on a Snowman block for January... I want to do a Pinwheel Variation for June, and A pieced kite block for may. Going backwards will keep me busy until Oct and November come around. LOL.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]361539[/ATTACH]

This is my January-Snowman block, and my December Santa. I've been working on them for a few days, but I got to a point I could take a pic today... I just need to sew on my buttons. I think I need to wait until my BOM quilt is quilted though. Right?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]361556[/ATTACH]

Hi Again.............my you are certainly fast. I just love all of the blocks that you have made so far. I think you could be on to next year's BOM, before we even finish this year!! :D Keep up the good work. It will be October before we know it & you will be busy again!!
:D :D :D :D
