greely-gal--You have a nice spin with the big contrast with the blues in the center!
Got mine done yesterday, but need to charge camera and take pics.

GreelyGal - LOOOOOOVVEE your block!!
There's so many different fabrics that each of the blocks seem to stand on their own :)....I'm absolutely loving this BOM. I do believe I'd addicted :lol:

Aberi - Ohhhh - thanks for the info. I will check it out. I tried to buy Carol Doaks book on paper piecing at our local Barnes & Nobel but they didn't have it nor does my library - Guess Amazon is next. I did buy Maggie Malone's 5,500 Quilt Block Designs - exciting book. I think I might have to plan on living to 200 yrs. to get all done that I would like :lol:

Is it too late to start the BOMs? I'm going to assume (which very often gets me into trouble) that y'all will be doing these the entire year?
I'd love to join in as I really like PP, after you get the hang of it :roll:, it goes so fast and the blocks are so beautiful. The tutorial is wonderfully written, so if you're scared don't be.
I've printed out January and February's blocks. I'll have to pull enough background fabric, so at year's end 'it will all go together'...:D
In my starting gate waiting for someone to fire the gun and tell me it's OK ;)

Just got back from trip to Charlotte NC and want to show you all my block. It is not perfect but it is my first PP block and I am so glad I tried it and so glad I did because now I will do more.
And I sure thank all of you for encouraging and challanging us to do this. God Bless and your talent!
