My 2013 Block of the Month completed top.
 

Finished up my top with the blocks I made from the 2013 Blocks of the Month. I did not make & use all the blocks offered, think I even made one not presented this year. This top measures 67 x 67", and i'll get to quilting it as soon as I finish up two quilts that are my sisters. This is a new setting for me.

Great job, blocks are beautiful.

Very pretty! Really great colors.

Those 9 blocks look pretty cool in that setting! Is it from a pattern or did you "wing it" ....????

The setting is from Sharyn Craigs book Setting Solutions

Awesome quilt...I so remember seeng several of your photo posting of your blocks. Great idea to place on point. Thank your for sharing...are you looking forward to 2014 BOM like I am? :)

Haven't decided on2014 BOM yet, i'll wait & see what they look like.

Beautiful quilt and great setting!

Beautiful!

You did a great job with them. I like the way you put it all together.

Really beautiful and well done!

Nice job MamaHen and congrats for finishing up a BOM. I always start out with a bang and end up with a fizzle.

Good Job! I have been thinking of how to set mine! l like what you have done!

real nice!!!

Top is finished ,still have to sandwich and quilt[ATTACH=CONFIG]453555[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]453555[/ATTACH]Humm dont know what happened there? LOL

It's really pretty and it really made the blocks cohesive. WTG! :thumbup:

I like your quilt

It's beautiful and I love the setting that you used. Nice job and thanks for sharing.

Very, very pretty!

Beautiful quilt, very nice use of color.

Roma...very nice. Glad to see another BOM one done. Okay, quilters were are yours?

Love the setting. Great job

nicely done... i love the setting

very nice. thx for sharing. I was sorry, I didn't tag along on this one.

Lovely quilt, I like your choice of colors, so pretty.

I want to make some more blocks to continue using my fabric. I get a block of the day in my email. They are six inch blocks. Do I just double all the measurements to make 12" blocks? And do they mean it finishes at six inches but will be 6.5" when pieced? Because most of my QB BOTMs are about 12.5".

Here's an example of the block of the day. http://www.quiltpro.com/botd/setup/2...mBlock_Win.pdf

I'm looking forward to the one on QB starting in Feb! :thumbup:

Thanks for you help.

That is a lovely quilt!

looks terrific :)

Ladies..............your quilts couldn't have turned out any nicer. You have both done a wonderful job putting your blocks together & then making a quilt top out of them!! I am so proud of you both & your lovely work. I hope you are joining in again for the 2014 BOM project, as we are having a great time this year too!! In case you have missed them, here are the websites to the direction's & photo's for 2014 BOM. We will be looking for you!!

I have finally finished all the blocks that will go into my 2013 Block of the month quilt. My biggest hangup was trying to figure out the setting triangles after deciding to set it on-point. I never did anything like this before. I have yet to do the four corner pieces, but that should be a piece of cake. Thanks to Electric Quilt software, I was finally able to figure out how to complete these triangles in order to continue the secondary pattern formed when I added Irish Chain blocks to the quilt. I plan on free-motion quilting the individual blocks before attaching, and I'm contemplating a border as well, so this remains a long way from finished.

I have to say, I love these Quilting Board BOMs. This one was supposed to be challenging and it was. It continues to be. And I'm loving every minute of it.

Carol, your 2013 BOM quilt is really awesome!! :D I can't believe how nice it has turned out. I love your idea of setting your blocks on point. It really changed the look of your quilt & for the better. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us & I do hope you will share a finished picture again, when it's completely done. Keep uo the GREAT work!!
:D :D :D :D

Your quilt is wonderful, thanks for posting. You inspire me to finish 4 more blocks to finish DDs Steeler Nation quilt. I enjoyed the 2013 BOM, learned so much!

Thanks Sula Bug. I'm blushing. I will definitely share a finished pic, when that happens. I just ordered some yellow and white gingham for the backing fabric and some really pretty dark peacock feather fabric for the binding strips. I can't wait to start free-motion quilting. I have only done one other quilt with that technique, so my challenges continue. I love that!

rural01...so happy to see another 2013 BOM top finished. Great learning experience to set the blocks on point. I learned a lot when I did mine. Next time it won't seem such a daunting job to figure it out. Remember to show us a picture of your finished quilt. I'll also post a picture of mine when I get it quilted, sometime this year! ha ha

Thanks djmat. If we didn't inspire each other, where would any of us be? Glad to help. I really enjoyed this BOM too. It certainly was a learning experience.

Indeed this journey was a learning experience. You're right, and I hadn't thought of that before, the next one will be easier. Thanks for that; this is one more in a long line of revelations. I cannot for the life of me figure out how you made your quilt top--so many angles. You obviously put lots of thought into it. It is beautiful and really showcases favorite blocks. I cannot begin to imagine how you came up with all those angles.:thumbup:

very nice....
