Finished all 13 chain blocks and the Feb block last weekend

Very pretty Jen.

Jen- that is a very bright block with great contrasting color. Love it. Congrat's on getting all your chain blocks done. It is a great feeling to have all of it done. Sue

Yes Sue, it does feel good. Now if I had my embroidery hearts done, I would be caught up

Jen, beautiful block! Love your colors.
And you have the 13 chain blocks done! Good for you!
I'm still deciding... I found and made one... didn't look good next to the first two blocks IMHO! Have another idea brewing! At least there are months before we need them!

Jen - your block is gorgeous! Haven't had a chance to work on this months yet. I think I'm going to be the straggler this month!

I'm jealous that all your chain blocks are done. I'm like Malou, I can't make up my mind about them!

Quilterjen...your block is very pretty! Will make a lovely quilt.

QJen, your star is glowing! I love it!

I only made one chain block. I used EQ to draw the block and the lay out. I hope it works out!

I thought I had 13 chain blocks already, but I don't . I must have counted wrong. LOL. So I quickly did the 13th block today. Now I am done with them. YEA. Sue

Beautiful block Jen, love the batiks.

So many pretty blocks this month. I finished mine this morning. PPing was a lot easier than when I tried it before. Thanks Gonesewin for the PPing class in Branson. Now maybe I'll try some of the PPing blocks in the Sylvia quilt I've been putting off.

Meme quilts, pretty block the red pops nicely.

Going slowly with the pping, not a pro at it. I've done two sections, six to go. Hope to finish this week.

Meme quilts, I love your 30s fabrics! Very nice block and like your colors!
CQ wannabe, I took my time too... I went very slow and pinned a lot!

Thanks! I'm using the FQ's I got from the birthday FQ swap in 2011. So I guess I'm stashbusting.

WOW! ladies~ your blocks ALL rock!!!

16 finishers already!! Way to SEW!!

Since we are all finishing so so fast, give us a hint for the next one! Two weeks is too long to wait!

LOL what is it worth to you??

A whole bunch of toffee and sour cream cinnamon coffee cake mailed to you Priority!
The offer is on the table!!!
Oh, and the same for that Chicky lady!!

I would off Chicky free ticket to the sew expo in march but I think that I will wait for March and the block I have plenty to do between now and than. Sorry Chicky but will see you on the 2nd of March. We will have lots of fun.

Jen... Love your fabrics.

This morning I sewed together the first row, 3 chain blocks and the two monthly blocks. I also worked on a few more chain blocks. I'm also starting to think about the first border for the quilt. Can you tell I'm anxious to do the next block?

I did go back and print out all the instructions for last year's BOM. Maybe I should work on some of those blocks. I really need to finish some of my other projects before starting another new one....

Meme...love your block...very "old" looking...love that style

Mine doesn't match up as much as I would like it to, but it is finished. I didn't want to rip anymore and stretch the block further.

PattyJ, nice colors! It will all blend in together in the end.

Patty, I love the colors you're using! It looks good to me. It was a hard block (IMHO!). Don't be so hard on yourself. You did good!

Great block Patty. You know I love the colors. Sue

Great block Patty!! There are some really pretty blocks this month.

Crazy'boutquilts, thanks so much for my prize. It arrived in yesterday's mail. It will go great right along with the FQ's I'm using in this quilt.

Crazy'boutquilts, thanks so much for my prize. It arrived in yesterday's mail. Very pretty small floral.

Patty, very pretty blue block.

Finished, finally! I don't dislike pping, but I am so slow at it.

I like your block CQwannabe! Love the touch of that teal with the green. I don't PP much but I think slow is the way to get it done half-way decently!

CQwannabe, your block looks great. Good use of colors. I agree that slow is the way to go with the paper piecing. Everyone is sure finishing their blocks in record time. Sue

So many pretty blocks. I'm not going to be able to think about mine until Monday at the earliest. I can't believe how fast this month has flown by. I still have so much going on this month, I know it will be over before I blink!

3 chain blocks made, first row completed!

Thanks everyone for posting pics of your fnished blocks! I love seeing them- it's a real shot of inspiration! I've printed several of them off & will put them in the notebook that I'm putting together for this year's B.O.M. patterns- everything will be in sheet protectors which will make flipping thru the patterns & pics so much easier!

Happy Stitching All!
Susan

CQwannabe...nice block! Your colors are very springy looking...

Thanks Colleen, very differnt color pallet for me. I'm using a FQ set from Connecting Threads called "Riviera II". Hoping for a cottage looking quilt.

Is it March yet???

Hold off on March, let me enjoy being caught up with February!!! :-)

Thanks for all the compliments.

I decided not to sew my monthly blocks to my chain blocks until the end of the year so I can move them around.

Is it March 1st yet? New block + my birthday = a great day!

LOL you guys are so fun! Hold off~ bring it on~ no hold off... LOL It will be here soon! I'm ready, but not sure about the Chicky.

March can't get here yet, I haven't had time to do mine. I might need until Feb 31st!

LOL

WCFC- we will be waiting for your block to come on the screen. Remember, February has only 28 days. No Leap Year this year. LOL
You can do this block. Sue

Northern Nana's block after much resizing! Lovely!

Nice block!!! I love the colors.

Great job everyone, loving all the colors of the blocks, so different, but each so pretty!

Nice block Northern Nana, Just 8 more days left to finish and get ready for the next block.
C'mon WQFC you can get it done. Just one block and it really isn't that hard. Pat

Great blocks ladies!

Started working on mine, but I have to go to the dentist! Would much rather be sewing!
