You are so right!! :D I am choosing the block for January & it will represent what I think fits that month. When February gets here, that block sould be realted to hearts or Valentine's Day & so on & so on. They will be regular pieced, appliqued, paper pieced or whatever method the person chooses her pattern to be. It's suppose to be fun & a little bit of a challange too. I love the idea of venturing out & learning something new once & awhile & I hope you will too!!
:D :D :D :D |

February we also did Lincoln's birthday (log cabin?) and George washington's birthday (cherry tree). Therefore, my thoughts was that it didn't have to be hearts for Feb, etc. Am I wrong in this?
Thank you for bringing that to my attention!! :D I agree with you 100%. The blocks shouldn't be what I originally stated, they should all be what the person picking that month's block wants the month to represent. I love your idea of kite's for March & all of the other ones you listed. We are so lucky to have so many choice's. The sky is the limit, so let you imagination wander. No, you are certainly not wrong!! :D :D :D :D |
Swap
I especially like the fact that these are not swaps as I am a newbie so I can learn without feeling the ineptness of others critiquing my rookie quilting! Can't wait for tomorrow for the new first one choice. Hope there arent too many paper piecing though as I want to learn basic quilting tecniques first before I tackle any applique or paper piecing.

Too True. Everyone here has always been awesome. I just meant I would FEEL inept if I had to send a block to the people on here who, from what I have seen, are FANTASTIC quilters.

I am in. This sounds like fun. Thanks so much.

I'm 3/4 through a mystery (doing 2 quilts in different colorwaves), 1/2 through a BOM (doing 2 quilts in different colorwaves), 1/4 through another BOM (doing 3 in different colorwaves--these are only 8 1/2" blocks so will do the 3 into tablerunners), only have 1 more month for another BOM (doing 3 quilts all totally scrappy)...so what's another BOM? I love doing them online...so much fun! So I'm in...hope I can keep up with everything PLUS the crafts for the craftshow booth. I will definately be busy trying to keep up with everything. I usually do multiples of stuff cuz some I sell, some I donate, & once in awhile I keep or give as gifts. I get bored easily, so always have a bunch going at once. Keeps life interesting! Happy Sew Year Everyone!!!

It's hard to believe it's New Year's Eve...I am sewing on my farmhouse block from last year(this year for a few more hours:p)to the sounds of fireworks. This will be my first block I've completely finished from the 2011 set. I've gotten several of them done but haven't embellished them yet so they're not officially done. This is the fun part to me adding the little touches.
I will continue to work on these blocks and look forward to the new ones as well. It is so much fun seeing how everyone sees their block. Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! |
