Thanks for the positive comments! I'll be interested in seeing what it looks like when it's finished also. I don't have a plan in mind as I work. I just do what strikes my fancy. If it doesn't look right, there's always my faithful seam ripper.

I agree...Very cute to add the decorative stitches.

This has been a slow block to complete. I work a little while on it, then get frustrated and quit for a few days. I only have a few more sections to go. So hopefully soon I'll have a picture.

I have never tried a block of the month before. will be starting soon. wish me luck

Good luck but I don't think you will need it.

thank you. i will put pictures as I do them

Oh Goody, another participant!! :thumbup: We are glad you are joining in on the fun. I will be anxiously waiting to see your blocks!!
:D :D :D :D

Helen thanks for reminder about our machines having more then straight stitchs...yours is turning out adorable. I so hope I feel better this weekend to play catch up.

Isn't it awful when you want to sew and your body just doesn't cooperate!!! You'll be feeling better soon and ready to stomp on that pedal! This is a good time to thumb through those quilt mags and cruise the internet sewing sites. Try ajpadilla.com for some inspiration.

I have decided to try this BOM also. Have never done one before, but it sounds like fun.
