I took the FREE BOM in 2012, have finished all the blocks...did them month by month...in the process of finishing the quilt now. I've signed up for the FREE BOM for 2013 but have not done either block because I'm taking a machine applique class at my LQS and it's really time consuming, altho I've watched both months....I think the class I took was fabulous and I'm so glad I did it because it taught me techniques I'd not used or known previously...excellent !!
