Please let me know if I've missed anyone.

Here is my March block.

Chlynn- love the purple and lavender(I think that is the lighter color). Great job on the block. Sue

Thanks, sue. The lighter lavender is much prettier in person. It has little white dots on it too and they do not show at all in the photo.

Thank you BOMChicks for the lovely red fat quarter you sent me. I love it. I do mostly red, white and blue quilts for military charities and it will be perfect.

Another month of beautiful blocks. I hope to work on mine tomorrow, I've been down with the cold/flu crud since last week Friday.

Gorgeous blocks.

Just back from Lancaster, plan to glue myself in front of machine and sew tomorrow.

Pretty

We went away for the weekend...and for me, that means I got to sew, sew, sew! Here's my March block! My flash didn't go off, so the picture is a little dark...

WQFC- your RWB blocks looks great. Now you are ready for the April BOM. Sue

Really like the RWB, WQFC! Looks good!
Chylnn, very pretty block you got done!
I'm liking each one a lot. Such varied color combinations make this interesting to see how the same pattern can look different.

Chlynn, your block is lovely!

WQFC,I love your block, very comfy fabrics...

I haven't done much sewing, except I helped Sister Sue with a baby quilt she is making, but no "me" sewing. I did get some kitchen cupboards and pantry cleaned out. I love that I can open the door now and things don't come crashing down. Today I'm going to sew my chain blocks, ya know I'm on plan X now right???LOL

WQFC, I like your red, white and blue bloc colors.

I still cannot decide on my chain blocks.

Thank you all!

Chlynn - I haven't made one chain block yet. I played with many different layouts in EQ6. I think I've finally decided what I'm going to do, since I haven't changed my mind in about 3 or 4 weeks! I wanted to have a few of the blocks done before I really committed myself!

I have finished up all of my chain blocks and love them! This is the first set of chain blocks I have ever made and was quite worried about it. As it turned out, I ended up completely reversing my fabrics on my chains (only made one as a sample and realized this!). I had already cut out all of my chain pieces! So now, I mixed it up a bit and am able to use half of the previously cut out chain fabric pieces and added some more to make my final look. In the process I also managed to make two more sample chain blocks that were both different sizes! I swe@r! The good news is that I do learn with each mistake I make with this traditional piecing stuff!

As I posted earlier though, once my chains were made, I didn't like my BOM fabbies with them and had to change directions with my BOMs. Now I love all of them!

TTT- March will soon be ending and I am looking for more finished BOM. Who still needs to show pics??? Sue

I see that my name hasn't been added to the list of finishers. AND...Malou can be added too! Here's her block! I love it! Makes me kinda want to re-do mine. I had something like that in mind and then went a different way.

Here's Malou's block!

Thanks so much WQFC for posting my block! It's appreciated very much!

I see Chlynn is also not listed yet... that means I'm #18 done (I think). Hope we do hit 20, or more, by the end of the month.

I haven't been here for a while. Beautiful blocks have been made! Here's mine. It's straight but it doesn't look that way

Very pretty Anael! I love the way the color values look transparent...

Anael, that is a beautiful block. Ditto what Alex... said. Glad you got it finished.
Only 7 more days until the April block comes out.What do you suppose our leaders picked for us this time????

Blocks are all turning out beautiful. I keep having thoughts of "oh, I really like her colors...maybe I should change..."

Here is my block. Color is much prettier in person the pink is darker and more subdued. All of them that have been posted are so pretty. Cannot wait for the April block. This was kind of easy think the next will have something like a "y" seam?

Oh No "Y" seams???? That will really test my patience.
I got all my chain blocks done and put them out with the monthly blocks, I think it is looking good. Then I had to hide them, because Sue is coming over tomorrow and I haven't showed them to her. YET!!!LOL She won't show me hers either and I was looking.

Great color blocks by Anael, Malou and RN55. These blocks are looking terrific. What beautiful quilts we will all have when Dec. comes. Lets keep them coming. Sue

Had to come and check out everyones blocks for inspiration, not to go select from my red and whites

Everyones blocks are great!

Get your pic in by Sunday so you can be in "the hat" for a prize drawing! I hear the short chick is feeling spunky

More beautiful blocks, seeing three months of blocks I'm getting curious about the secret chain blocks. My March block is ready to be assembled I'll finish before the 31st.

The short Chick is going to be kind of busy this week laying eggs so all the kids can have Easter Egg hunts with plenty of eggs. She won't have time to get into trouble. LOL

Nice blocks and colors KBlue, Chlynn and Anael! I like every block I've seen this month!
I get that feeling, too, KBlue, of when I see the beautiful colors of others it makes me want to change mine!
Nice that we're at 20 finishers! And it sounds like we'll have a couple more.
Who said Y-seams???? They need a good slap!! LOL!
Chicky, just concentrate on Easter and getting those eggs out! No messin' around with hard blocks for us!!

ok that was me that said y seams and trust me it wasn't cause I wanted them I just have feeling they are going to do it to us!

Just teasin' with you RN! Who know what our sneaky leaders will have for us next! We'll know soon!

April 1 cannot get here fast enough!

I'm so gonna be trying to get my block finished by the skin of my teeth...I think I can...I think I can... I'm anxious to get to work on it..I love my fabrics for this one just not sure which design I want to do...I love the different blocks this month

Such nice fabric picks. Enjoy seeing the variety.

Almost time for the April block!

RN, your block is very nice. I like pink and brown together.

Thank you me too and I am not a fan of pink. But I really like these blocks

It took me forever to get back to this block and I wasn't sure I would get it finished in time, but here it is.

headielamar, beautiful block!

Finished! I need to repress but here is my March block.

Finished mine after dinner tonight, just in time to see what the new block will be

Really like your blocks ladies!

Bring on the next one!

I might have a problem with the next one because I'm doing the monthly birthstones. April is a diamond. What other color besides white with silver sparkles could I use?

Oh!PatriciaAnne, Diamonds come in all differnt colors now, just to name a few you have brown, blue, yellow so you have your pick.

Hey Trish! You did it! Once again, your red and white is so pretty!

PatriciaAnne...maybe you can use white in the center somehow. And, like Ann, I believe diamonds come in all colors too. Maybe the gals will cooperate and give us something with a diamond shape in it.

Is tomorrow the day?

Just want to say, Nice blocks everyone. Let's remember that our fearless leaders Might pull some kind of April 1st joke on us too. Chicky has really been behaving herself this year, I think she will take this time to catch us good . Just a few more hours until we find out what the new block will look like. Pat

Good to see some more BOM done. Great job and you all finished on time. Soon the new one will be out. Sue
