I was clearing the decks today, so to speak. (My sewing room is now a total disaster!)
Anyway, decided to go ahead and make this block since it is an "easy" block! Well, multiple 'frogging' sessions later it's together. I really have goofed this block up. I wanted the red as the main fabric. That's a good choice. I wanted the white print for the light. Good so far. THEN, I picked that blue without even considering that it should be a medium color and not dark. Sigh! It is what it is! What it isn't is pink!
Just a word of warning to everyone. It's an easy block so be sure to read the directions!! :shock: I think I was acting like a 'know-it-all' and that is why I spent so much time ripping seams this afternoon! :roll:

i feel your pain, girlfriend. been there. done that. for the same reason, i'm sure. :lol:

if it's any consolation, i think it's fabulous. the blue is perfect. :P

I like it just as it is! What great colors for a kids quilt.

I am inspired!

I am going to go check my stash and do the BOMs this year with all of you. :D

looks pretty good to me, all the colors look great, nice and bright. i agree the blue looks awesome with the other colors . nice work.

I agree with Patrice the blue is perfect. Also you are definately not alone in the rip/resew department either. I did the same on the Frolic BOM earlier and it was suppose to be simple too. Well, for me it wasn't a frolic. :lol: Looking forward to seeing more. This block is lovely, you did a great job. :mrgreen:

Here is my block. The first BOM I've done. I plan to go back and do several other blocks for a RFL auction quilt.

Beautiful colors both of yu. that really is a nice block.

Nifty!
Your block looks great.

Your blocks are beautiful! I can't wait to make mine. Maybe tonight when things settle down here.

I'm glad you all liked it, I had never seen it before either.

Your blocks look really good. I didn't try any last year but got this one printed off and am ready to start the new year out right.

I decided not to join the BOM last year as I had too much going on but I'm going to try to do them this year. I decided to make my block to go with my Birthday swap blocks so that I can make a bigger quilt. Here is the first one.

All your blocks look great!...here's my contribution!...lol!

Beautiful work everyone! I really enjoy seeing everyone's fabrics!

I have this month's BOM finished. It was a nice one to do. I saw the pattern on the web site, and it didn't appeal to me because maybe it was browns? Anyway, now it's done, I like it. I try to make a couple of different color variations each month. Eventually this whole sampler of blocks will be a quilt. Sara

WooHoo!!!!!

To All of You!!!!!

:P :P :P

WOW!!!

Wow...you guys are doing so good...I am SO far behind on this I hope I can find the time to catch up soon!! Your blocks are awesome!

Ok I am so excited!! I did it!! My first BOM is done. I was getting really frustrated. I done it once and somehow my measurements must have been off and it looked bad. I think it was when I tried to do the shortcut in making the triangle. Anyway I did it the long way and it paid off. I completed it..... :)

I know I am a beginner but I was starting to think I might be destined to only do blocks.

You did good Toni...that looks great!

Karen

Way to go newquiltertoni! Your persistence paid off! That's a blue beauty!

Thanks Chele, and Karenmay! I can't wait till the next block now :D

chele, you wacky did ya. what an amazing quilt block. i totally love the fabrics and the way you put them together. would love to see an entire quilt of these blocks :thumbup:

Great block, I really enjoyed making it...I will probably make a full quilt out of it soon.

Oooh catchergirl01! Gorgeous fabrics! That's going to make a lovely quilt!

Very interesting block! I love all of them! Chele, how in the world did you get yours done with you eyes still focused!! Wild one! :D Is this the first block of the new year or do I have to get the pattern to catch up? Would like to join all of you so I can use up some of the fabric I have stocked up.

Well I used my scrapes from the New Years Day mystery quilt. Picture looks a little dull. Guess I better start taking them durring the day instead of night. Or an excuse to buy new camera. lol

Pretty Ceannastahr. Love that batik! Can't wait to see your mystery quilt!

neither can I its on a back burner for a bit lol

Y'all got it goin' on! Give yourselves a big pat on the back!

You all have done so great on your blocks. It is so exciting to see blocks made from the pattern you selected.

I too, think a whole quilt done with this block would be very pretty!

I finished first my block of the month. I hope to keep up this year!
Thought if I use Christmas fabric, maybe at the end of the year there will be something to put together. :D

Going to have to try this block. Great colors and variations everyone.

They are all so pretty....doing good everyone! I'm just about ready to get caught up on these!

Very nice all of you! I am not even thinking about BOMs at this point. Too many other things to get done first. I have to pick a color for all year for the BOMs before I start one!

I have so say, Chele, I didn't even have to look at the name to know that was your block! Psychedelic Baby!

And Saravincent, I was just thinking yours have a Southwestern flair when I noticed you are in Southern Utah. DUH! Of course you have Southwestern taste!

And mgrhs - have those same fabrics! How funny! (We have good taste! LOL)

Actually, I am using scraps. I made my three boys shirts for family photos about20+ years ago, and had another couple of aqua pieces. This quilt will be for one of those boys. He remembers the shirts, and he really needs a new quilt. But I'd better get sewing faster to get 70 or 80 blocks done so I can work on a color combination for ME!

All are really nice.

looks perfect for mr....I like it just the way it is

This went together pretty good, only had to rip a couple of seams. I need to press and trim. It looks much better in person than in photo. Pastel colors never look good in photo

another beautiful Ruthification!!! :P

that pink is fascinating. is that all one fabric, or did you piece the pieces?

I followed the directions to a T It is all pieced. I bought the pink last year at joanns or wallmart :D
