I finally finished (with the exception of the border - need to buy some fabric) the BOM I started 4 years ago. Sorry the picture is a little crooked.

How beautiful! I love your colors! Feels so good when you finally get one done, doesn't it?

Pretty Pretty!! Great Job. I have never totally finished any of the 7 or 8 block of the month's I've done. Got blocks done, just never put the whole thing together.

sspingler 08-22-2008 12:13 PM

OOOO that's pretty!! BTW, that would look totally awesome on my bed!!

Great looking blocks like the colors and all.
Now let'see what you do next with the borders :thumbup:

jbsstrawberry 08-22-2008 12:14 PM

That is simply lovely!!! Perfect colors too!! You did a fantastic job!!

bearpaw 08-22-2008 12:41 PM

Thanks guys! Yes, it does feel good to have it almost finished. I think I'm going to send it out to be quilted, if I try, it will be another 4 years before it's done!

I'd love to take credit for the colors, but with this BOM, the fabric was shipped each month. It's the Womens Voices from Keepsake Quilting.

PS - Sorry Sharon, I've waited tooooooo long to let this one go!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

The flag block is one of my favorites!

Vicki--I recognized your BOM right away. I have been eyeing it in the Keepsake catalog for a long time.....Drool. You have done a fantastic job. As soon as your picture popped up-you got an "oh, wow" from me!! :D

Blue Bell 08-22-2008 04:48 PM

Absolutely beautiful. I, too, saw it in the Keepsake Quilting catalog. Your piecing is perfect.

bearpaw 08-22-2008 04:48 PM

I think I should also mention that I replaced one of the months (think it was 11) with two other blocks. That month just had way too many little triangles. I figured I'd just put it away again if I tried that block, so I replaced it with the bear paw and dandy block.

Thanks again, everyone, for your nice comments :mrgreen:

tarib 08-22-2008 05:41 PM

That is just beautiful. Wonderful job. Make sure you let us see when the border is done.

Grandma Cindy 08-26-2008 07:12 AM

Yeahhhhh, all done, good for you. When you started, did you buy a certain amount of matching fabrics? I have wanted to begin a BOM ,but how do you know the amounts of fabrics to purchase to be able to complete the whole piece?...

Thanks! I haven't bought any fabric to match yet. The only fabric I need to finish is the border fabric and backing. The last month was shipped with the sashing and binding fabrics. I was thinking about using muslin for the back.

Thanks everyone - again!!
