1 January 2012 BOM pictures.

Here's mine and before you look I will explain - January here can be around century heat, it's BBQ's, bugs and sometimes bushfires - so there will be NO snow related stuff in my block.
This quilt will be for my new GD so the fabrics I have chosen are to suit a baby girl. I also reduced the block to 6" finished size.

Here is my block! Had some trouble matching a couple of seams, but that will just remind me that it was the first time I ever paper pieced! The light blue has white sparkly snowflakes and tiny red dots that didn't show up in the picture. Can't wait for the Feb. block - do we get any hints as to what it might be?

Mona, I just learned to Paper Piece last year while doing the Star BOM. This is a video I found so helpful, hope it helps you too! Also If you get the Scribble Pads at the Dollar Store, you can cut the pages down to 8 1/2 X 11. This will go through your printer, and it is very easy to tear the paper off when you are done with the block.

Jeanie, thanks for posting this video. I have been pp'ing for a while but had gotten in the habit of trimming each seam after sewing it. I just learned that it is infinitely easier to see what I am doing if I trim before placing the next piece!

Thanks so much.
