Whitepine, your quilt is going to be beautiful! :D

Gorgeous, gorgeous stars!
I just cut out all the pieces for mine. Might put the block together either tonight or tomorrow. I ended up getting the same pattern from Quilter's Cache, 'cause I'm more familiar with the way she lays out her patterns. :) |

that is where I hit a road block. out of 9 BOM projects only 2 have been quilted. What is your secret to get to the finished product? Any hints? Will take all ideas, comments, theroies. thanks The stars and buildings are my 2nd and 3rd BOM. I did the flowers last year. I have the same question/problem. I haven't done anything with the flowers and am worried I'll do the same with these two. Someone said in another thread that they enjoy the piecing and not the quilting so they just donate their blocks to a group that will finish them and donate to a good cause. I think that's a good plan. But.... I would like to finish them. I think a quilt-as-you-go might work. Also, in December, or earlier, I would like to see people lay out their blocks on the floor if they have a design planned for them. I have been considering doing this with "quilt-as-you-go" too. I wanted to get a few of the blocks done so I could decide what color back and sashing to use. |

Alrighty, so I finally put together my April block. I'm not going to lie, it was a bit of a relief to have such an 'easy' block. I still ended up ripping out three seams - but this went together very quickly nonetheless.
I did learn that I can make my points match better if I pin instead of just eyeballing it. So anyway - here's my Amish star, and then one of my whole collection so far. :) Originially I intended to have some plain white too - but I ran out!

They all look so beautiful together - you will have a spectacular quilt when they are all done!
