Next, I pulled a civil war grouping and made the #1 block in those.

And lastly, I pulled a 1930's repro grouping and made my block 1 of the 1930's fabrics.

Everyone's January blocks are great!! Also the fabric choices for future blocks. Works out well that I have Round Robin borders to work on the next couple weeks...then I'll be ready for the new BOM.

SBG, You've been busy! It's hard to say which set of fabrics will be the favorite, they all look good to me.

Beverly, I love your fabric selection, in fact I think I have some of that same fabric. Everyone’s blocks look fantastic and I’ll head over to the FB group for more inspiration (sigh).

Thanks, jmoore! The florals are from M&V Boundless that I bought a few years ago from Craftsy. I also pulled from some fabric I bought at Joann’s. I wanted to stick to fabric on hand and not buy anything new for the project. I was more than a little excited to find M&V layer cake and FQs I’d forgotten about. Since you have some of the fabric .... I now know where to go if I run out of something.

SBG .... fun to see your different blocks. I’m trying to decide if I have enough of anything to do a second set of blocks each month. Hmmmm I did buy some fall colors on sale last year to do a pumpkin tablerunner. I’ll have to dig around and see how much I have leftover. Maybe too much orange to pull off?

I finally got to make the first block. I'm doing this BOM and the A Quilting Life BOM. Here's my fabrics and block.

That’s nice, Barbie! I like the brown and green together.

QueenB, I have that brown print (not the stripe one you used, the other one). I think that brown is underrated. And green is my favorite! I'm sure I'll like your top! :-)
