I am newish to the forum and was wondering how I go about becoming involved in the block of the month and what it entails?

I thought it may be interesting to join this group.

Judy, someone will be along shortly to answer your question. I just wanted to say Hi and Welcome from Nebraska!

Judy, I also will wait for someone else to answer your question because I am not doing these BOM's yet.....will later.
Hello and welcome from the Arkansas Ozarks.
Happy quilting.

each month someone posts a new block for that month- you check the link- down load the pattern- make the block- there are discussion groups in case you have any problems- and i think they show pictures of their blocks too-
there are a few different ones going on.
if you do one of Rhonda's she will send you templates needed =
some are people working on a particular quilt (like the farmers wife quilt) and sewing-chatting helping each other get through it.
look through the list check the blocks and decide which one you would like to participate in ... and jump right in :)

I belong to two on this site...both stated the beginning of the yr. and conclude at the end.
One is "Houses" the other "Baltimore Quilt Blocks"

On the hses 12 diff people select a block representing a type of hse...i.e. outhse, school hse, barns, farmhse etc... they can be regular template piecing and cutting or Paper Piecing (my favorite)
Balt quilt blocks posted by one person each mth.

You do them in your leisure and hope not to lag behind. Post pictures of your sq each mth so everyone can see your intepetation and it also gives others who haven't started ideas to steal...so much fun..no pressure if you fall behind or out no one knows.
So ck out more recent ones and join up

I also have wondered how to get involved. I'd love to get in a group. Thanks for posting.

I love the block of month I see here but I am not quite good enough at piecing to do some of them yet. Or is there a beginners BoM club I missed? If not would love to see one get started. I'd be willing to help out if someone else has tips how to do it and be consistant.

Yes, a beginners BOM would be good.

Thanks for this info, I have an idea on how it works now, will wait till someone contacts me to do one.

Hi Rose, Hi from Australia, and thanks for the info.

Check out Rhonda's new BOM (the first one was in 2010). Her blocks are always easy to do, especially using her cut-down method. Check out her posts on this board for her articles and tutorials. They're great! You can't go wrong with Rhonda!

I am with Rhonda's BOM and I love it.Her instructions are very easy to follow. With her group you must do one of her blocks for the exchange. You will have no problem being a beginner,if you do she will walk you through your problem. You can learn a different block each month or stick with the same block. My profile picture is one her blocks. Welcome from MI.

One of the best things about this board's BOM - you can join whenever you want! Don't need to sign up or wait for an invitation!

I would love to see a beginner's bom because some of the blocks people are doing seem quite difficult for me and I don't think I could come up with my own sampler because there are so many to choose from!

I would also be interested in a beginners BOM.
