Pitsburgpam, sorry if I sound stupid, but I really like the idea of houses for a BOM. I haven't started on my January block yet, but is your finished one in the picture 12"? It looks much smaller than the rest or are the rest bigger than 12"? Thanks for showing us the finished product.

My church block came out a little smaller than the 10" finished size of the posted paper piecing pattern. We were to add onto it to make it 12". Don't ask me why it was small, I checked the 1" mark on my second block before starting and it was correct.
All of the house blocks I used in the design are 12". It is not the REAL blocks that will be posted for the BOM since I do not know what they will be each month.

What a wonderful layout. I hope I will be able to access it. I don't have the EQ program.

Everything is based on 3", 6", 9", 12", etc. and I've tried to keep in mind ease of piecing sections together, I don't think it will be too hard.
I can probably do a pattern just of the extra parts and export it to PDF. That will take quite awhile because I need to print each block to PDF but it's do-able.

Oh, you've made me decide to stick with this. I had almost decided not to do this but this quilt is beautiful.
My friend has EQ6, is EQ7 compatible? I'd love to have this quilt. I joined a thimbleberries BOM back in 2007 but I had to have surgery and never got the last 'kit' and wondered what I'd do with all the fabric. Then hubby had a stroke in 2008. I'm just now getting back into quilting.
Thanks for sharing!!!
