I still have to catch up for April, May and June... LOL.

I know that you will be caught up before we know it!! Have fun sewing those blocks together.
:D :D :D :D

Wow, kensington - you are fast! How do you sew so fast - I usually spend a couple of days on each block (not whole days - cut on one day, sew on another day). Your blocks are just darling. Can't wait to see the whole quilt.

I'm having a hard time finding the pinwheel I want for June... it's the Flying Kite Pinwheel. Eleanor Burns has it on her site, but she makes them in rows of the same fabric, I want to use 8 different fabrics.. I think I have converted it... we shall see. That August block took me a bit longer as I was learning to use my new "Wonder Cut Ruler". LOL.

Okay... here is my June block. I chose this one because June is special to me, my moms birthday is in June. And the pinwheel reminds me of my childhood when we had then and would hold them in the wind. I used repro fabrics, I have stash of scraps from a quilt I made, and I am very happy with my June Block. It really took no time at all.

Kensington, I just love your pinwheel block! Did you use your Wonder Cut ruler to make it? I don't have one of those yet, but I do have the Companion Ruler. I wonder if that would do the same thing? I've got lots of 5" squares cut (worked on them today), so maybe I'll be doing pinwheels soon.

Everyone's blocks are so pretty.
After all the color in the last block I just kept Sept simple.[ATTACH=CONFIG]361914[/ATTACH]

Tweety... your block is nice. I like that fabric.

Yes, I did use the Wonder cut. It was so easy to do. I don't know what the Companion is, I'll have to look that up. I used Eleanor Burns intructions but had to adapt them as she made hers in strips and I was making mine in 8 different fabrics. Still, it was very easy to do. It's one of my favorite blocks in my BOM so far.

Kennsington...............Wow, I love your June block. This pinwheel pattern is a good one & your choices of fabric's just make it look really nice. My Mom's birthday is in June too, what a small world, huh? Thank you for sharing with all of us today.
:D :D :D :D

Tweety...........Your September Maple Leaf block is wonderful!! :D I really like the green batik fabric you used for the leaf itself. It will go very nicely with the rest of your Calendar theme blocks for 2012. Thank you too for sharing with all of us today on the Quilting Board.,
:D :D :D :D

Sept Maple Leaf
 

Here's mine...finally!

After seeing it on here.....''Live"...I think I will add the other two borders and trim it to 12.5.

missgigglewings - very pretty block! I just love your border fabric.

It's nice and colorful. I'd like it with all four borders better too. Great fabrics.

missgigglewings........What a great September Maple leaf block. Your leaf print fabric is wonderful & I love it!! :D The colors are so pretty. I hope you will post another picture of it when you add your borders. We will all be anxious to see the difference, although I think it looks nice with the wider border on two sides. Thank you for sharing with all of us today.
:D :D :D :D

Oh Wow great blocks and quilt sharing everybody.. I love them all. :thumbup: Here is my Sept Maple Leaf block I also used the pattern for 12" from Quilters Cache.

I like you leaf and your word fabric!

Very pretty block!

Sulabug... Sulabug! Now don't get upset that I jumped ahead. LOL. But, I did finish my other blocks... April, May, October and November. I should have waited, but I was inspired by you and these threads, and I couldn't wait. I'm excited to get it sashed and borders on so I can see my own finished quilt! I've never done a BOM quilt before... I'm so excited! Thanks!

Kensington...........how on earth could I be upset with you & your beautiful Calendar blocks for 2012? :D They are all wonderful & you not only did them extra speedily, but you have done an awesome job to boot!! :D Your choices are great & your work is impeccable too. I love it. Now you must promise to share a picture with all of us, when you have it sashed & all done. We will be so anxious to see the finished quilt. I think you are an inspiration to all of us too!!
:D :D :D :D

Jenniky..............Your September Maple Leaf block turned out gorgeous too!! :D I also like the twelve inch Q.C. block pattern. I have noticed that you aren't posting on this thread as much. Where have you been? I happen to know that you are involved with several other projects, as well. We have missed your bright & shining little face. Hope you are keeping up with all of your projects!!
:D :D :D :D

Hi Sulabug, All of my projects plus regular life events have kept me extremely busy and I have had less computer time as a result, I have been reading but not replying much. The up side is I have learned so much about quilting, the down side obviously I have not had as much time to interact with all my friends on the Quilting Board. Hopefully the end of October most of my current projects will be complete and as I am not planning on taking on any new projects until next year I will have more time in the following months. :) It's nice to know Im missed. Warm Hugs Everyone :)

Kensington, Where did you get the patterns for Oct., Nov, & Dec? I love them & wouldn't mind adding them to at least 1 of the 4 I'm doing.

Kensington - I Love your quilt. Those last 3 blocks are amazing! Can't wait to see the quilt.

Well, I did not use a pattern for Oct. I had seen several versions of the Witchy Sue and thought it was cute. And someone had mentioned there being a pumkin block for Oct.. and my mind got going and I drew that up myself and made my own pattern with velum. I enlarged it. I appliqued that one on. The November block is called "Autumn Leaves" and I found it a couple of places on line. "Quilt in a day" has it and in video talks about adding the turkey to it as you go. But, it's a leaf block. It comes out set on the point after piecing, but I wanted mine square for this, I got out my wonder cut ruler and added triangles to give me a square. Also, Quilt in a day, gives PDF pattern you can copy, but I enlarged mine by 1/2 inch. So my turkey went from top to bottom. I found the Santa Face on Quilters Cache, it's a 12 inch.

Any ideas on sashing? Can't decide, do I want black, a dark or light solid, a check, or print... probably not flowers. But, what? Something light and bright or more subdued?

I think dark so you blocks will pop. Or maybe you want to do an attics windows. I did my DGS Lego quilt and it really gives depth.

Attics window is an idea. I'll have to think about that.

thanks, Kensington. found the turkey @ www.quiltinaday.com and the santa @ quilters cache.
Still haven't come across the pumpkin but probably can come up with one

Here is my September Maple Leaf Block.

Very, very pretty...love the batiks..Great job Jeanie..

I drew my own pumpkin. I have a sketch pad and I draw on it all the time, I drew my own Hot Air Balloon and the Heart Block for February.

I drew the pumpkin, and then when I cut it out, I cut one of the sections a different fabric, darker orange. HTH. That block is applique.

JeanieG...............Your September Maple Leaf block turned out just perfectly!! :D The batik fabric you used for the leaf part is gorgeous. It just make your leaf look perfect!! :D I also love your background fabric, it goes so well with the batik leaf fabric. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us today. Now you can rest until the October block is posted!!
:D :D :D :D

Jeanie, Great color for your leaf. Really looks like fall.

My September block. Though I love a good challenge, it was nice to make this nice simple, easy block
[ATTACH=CONFIG]363477[/ATTACH]

Rich color, makes a good block.

JeanieG and Rural, great blocks. I so do love fall colors. I am already wondering what fun square is planned for October. :thumbup:

Oh dear, I haven't been here for a while and look how many beautiful blocks there are! Thanks for showing!
Kensington, you're way ahead of us all. Great blocks, can't wait to see the finished quilt!

I wonder what next month will bring us ;) Any clues SulaBug?

Carol............your Maple Leaf quilt block for September 2012 has turned out beautiful. What pretty leaf fabric you have used for the leaf part of your pattern. It couldn't have turned out any nicer. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Good Job!!
