I got both books at Hobby Lobby, along with a whole bunch more, on the markdown rack for $1 each!! ... just happened to be at the right place at the right time - doesn't happen very often...

Whew, there sure are a lot of talented quilters out there. What beautiful masterpieces. Maybe someday will get my 9 patch seams to meet and take on something as gorgeous as shown on these sites. Yup, one quilt at a time. Please keep us posted with pictures, they inspire.

Bearpaw - that is really funny! How long have you had the BOM coming to you?? I started mine about 4 years ago...and the last block and sashing fabric deliveries have been sitting in my basement for 3 years as I got caught up with everything else. I did pretty well keeping it going each month until about month 7, then I let it slide for a bit :oops: It is fun and I can't wait to finish it :!:
