Jinnie, that's pretty. Does the fabric have snowy pine trees on it?

Jinnie............your Snow Blossom block is wonderfull!! :D I love your yellow center with the contrasting blue fabric's. You truly have made your block personalized, just for your collection. We will be so anxious to see your February block, after it is posted, to see if you are using the same color combination. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us here today. Very nice work!!

I just found this site. I've never paper pieced and have never been in a BOM, but I'm game. I've printed my patterns and will go fabric hunting. If I don't have it finished by the 1st, I'll post it when I can. I see there's another new quilter trying so I won't be alone.

It was my first try at paper piecing. I had a few glitches, but, if you can sew on the printed lines, it's not hard at all! It looks far more involved than it is, IMHO. Good luck!
Can't wait to see what you make!

Oh My!! :D Another beautiful Snow Blossom block has just been posted today. You ladies continue to amaze me each time I sign on to see what's going on for the day. Your block turned out really nice. I like the fabric color combination that you picked to portray your Snow Blossom, it is very striking. Nice sewmanship too. Thank you again for sharing with all of us here on the quilting board!!

Sew, the link to the Feb block will be posted on this thread, correct? Then we really won't be using the other 2 threads, correct? There will be 2 new threads for pics and patterns for Feb, correct?

Andii 01-30-2012 08:05 AM

stichinluvr, your block is very striking. I like the contrast.

dd, you are correct that there will be two new threads started for February. The threads for January will still be here for any latecomers to enjoy but 2 new threads will be posted under Block of the Month. It's almost here! I just noticed it's leap year!

Yes, you are correct!! :D There will be two new threads for the February block. They will start out like this:
1 February 2012 Calendar BOM pattern & direction.
1 February 2012 Calendar BOM picutres.

It won't be long now & I think we are all getting really excited!!

It's Feb. 1!!!!
 
It's February 1!!!! Looking for the new block! So excited to get started on it. I had never paper pieced before and had a bit of trouble with the January block, but finally successfully finished it and I love it! Some of the quilters on here have made such beautiful blocks!!!

kdcandy......I hope you have found the February Cat pattern by now. As for paper piecing, the Cat block is a very easy one to make. It is also up to the person making their block on how they want arrange their block pieces. Ronda & I chose to make two of the cat blocks with two different 9 patches to go with it. But you can make just one cat, or two, or three, or four cat blocks. I see many ways that this block could turn out to be. So use your imagination & create a beauty for all of us to see!! We can hardly wait to see them posted.
:D :D :D :D

I am looking forward to seeing your February Heart Cat block, when your post your picture!! How nice is your weather today? In the state of Washington, USA it is a balmy 40 degree's here & we almost have to wear sunglasses, as the sun bounces off of the remaining snow on the ground!!
:D :D :D :D

Deecee 02-03-2012 11:49 AM

We have had a welcome change from our century heat. A little rain and cooler yesterday but heading for 89F today.

My kitty block is almost done, but I will be out today so may not be posting just yet.

Sewze 02-03-2012 12:04 PM

We believe that Spring has sprung here in the Mid Atlantic. 50's, 60's, AND 70's. Forsythia blooming, daffodils & tulips are up and fields (here on the farm) are turning green with new young grasses growing. WooHoo. Hope and pray it stays this way. Jinnie

March block for BOM
 
I've setup the March pattern and photo threads which you can find here

Finally finished the snowflake and kitty- thinking I REALLY dont like paper piecing (or maybe it was the lack of certain sizes in the snowflake, but did so much better on the kitty and much quicker without all the wasted fabric). On to March...

A Night Moon, don't despair! It gets better with practice. Now, I won't even do a pattern that ISN'T paperpieced. :)
