I'd also like to do a BOM. I like the idea of doing buildings.

I like the gazebo idea - wonder if there is a pattern? I may have to tackle the town even if stars are chosen - the more I think about it the more I like it

The town idea sounds like a plan. I'm going to try this.

I would love to get in on the BOM for 2011. January - April are my busy time at work but a challenge like this would help me feel like I am accomplishing something. Do I need to PM someone to get on the list?

Mary,
We are so excited that you want to participate in the BOM, for 2011!! :D You don't need to PM anyone, just watch the board for the announcement, sometime in December. Don't worry about your busy months either, as you can make these blocks any time you want too. It's so much fun & we just want everyone to have fun too!!
:D :D :D :D

Same here!
I loved the sampler blocks because I LOVE a scrappy quilt. :thumbup:

I've done a lot of thinking about this and I think blocks with state names would be great for me! On the other hand, have you seen the Thimbleberries quilt that's called All Around the Town? It makes up very pretty,(I had a bank loan officer that made it and hung in her office.) It was outstanding! I also love stars as well! I'll be watching to see what develops here!

Chigger - Here is the "ALL AROUND THE TOWN" you were talking about...very cute:

And here is another one I found when looking for that one:

I like the suggestion of blocks named for states.

I vote for houses, homes, lighthouses, outhouses, (inhouses), big houses, small houses, houses with wheels, apartment houses, duplex houses, condo houses, bird houses and maybe even nests! Belles
