    Great idea....I have 12 months of UFO planned for 2015 (even finished January's on Feb 2nd and am well on way for Fenruary) I will put an "*" on the list that says. Start new UFO making the blocks you mentioned --- kind of like a BOM of new blocks.

    Great idea, thanks

    Great thought Judy, a NEW block of the month with YOUR OWN blocks! I guess the challenge would be to do one or two a week. Think of doing them on the weekend when there may be a bit more time (haha)

    This is such a good idea will be waiting for pictures of everyone's blocks and finished quilt. I have mine started because I do make a block that I like when I see it. Guess mine will end up a scrappy quilt.

    Great idea, I'm in, but since I'm still trying to use up scraps, that's what I'll be using.

    I forgot to add that for those of us who collect the Quiltmakers 100 quilt block series this is a good opportunity to try many of the blocks. If memory serves they are all 12 inch.

    Sounds like fun--I'll try to fit it in. I have so many I'd like to try that my quilt might cover my state!

    I started a sampler quilt in January, choosing blocks from the book Bella Bella Sampler Quilts by Norah McMeeking. THis is my first time doing serious paper piecing and I have ripped out a lot of seams! Here is the latest one, a hexagon star block along with the other 4 blocks I've done. Hope this fits with the spirit of the challenge since several of these have been skills building for me!
