Patty, your quilt is just as stunning as I thought it would be!!! That border is fantastic! Thanks for sharing with us

I'm going to do two of the BOM Blocks each month this year. You have seen my first block and here is my second one.

here are the two blocks together.

Handie Ann. your blocks are both gorgeous!

Wow, they sure look different with different color placement. Hard to tell they're the same block. Will you make two quilts?

Wow Handie! That is very cool the way the block looks totally different! Great job!

Ok ladies, the new block will be up on Friday~ who is working to finish January's block?

Everyone's blocks are gorgous. I love all the different color choices and adaptations to the patterns. I also love the 2012 quilt - gives me inspiration that this time next year I could have a finished quilt! And, I'm really liking the black/white with pops of color. I think I see that in my future.

2 Days left to finish Jan BOM. Who else is joining in this fun BOM series??? Sue

sue, it is getting close! Can't wait to see what lovely has been chosen for February!

CBQ, I was looking at your list of finishers for January on page 1 and didn't see Chlynn, Shauna or CQwannabe listed... and I might have missed someone. You said you hoped we'd make 20... we're close!

Anael, I've been thinking of you and those babies. Any update on how they're doing?

Thanks for asking Malou! They're hanging in, condition is still very critical but they're struggling to stay with us. No internal organ is working properly or working at all so they get lots and lots of meds, morphine, almost every day they need blood but during the past few days their condition has stabilized. So that's good news.

I'm working on my block...but found it to be frustrating...the first step and second step, yea easy peasy...they lost me when they told me to stack my color 1 and color 3-7/8 x 7-3/4 strips right sides together....Now WHEN did they tell me to cut those???
Maybe my brain isn't working...but I just get annoyed with directions that make me scratch my head

In the supplies list on page two they had you cut those pieces Kentucky. They always have the supply list on the last page of directions~ which does seem backward to me too. Good luck with your block!!

Thanks Malou~ I'll sign in as a 'chick' tonight and get the list updated!

Anael~ continued T&P's being sent! ((hugs))

Anael, thank you for the update. You know many of us are praying and I will be keeping positive thoughts for improvements each day. Hugs for you and those little ones and the parents.

CBQ, maybe the list will have 20 soon!

I'm not going to be able to get January's block done before tommorrow night- my mother spent thirteen days in the hospital with pneumonia. If I wasn't working, I was at the hospital with her. Thankfully she's on the very long road to recovery, but I'm still trying to get things at the house back on track.

I thought I had my setting block all picked out, but I've totally changed my mind! I've now found the perfect setting block! I'm going to have to make quite a few more than I originally planned on, but it's going to come out absolutely gorgeous when it's all finished! I can hardly wait to get started! *grin*

Happy Stitching All!
Susan

Thanks Sandie
OK...so I'm a little red faced LOL...my printer printed off 2 pages, but nothing but the web address was on the second page next time I'll be sure to double check...I ended up piecing it a different way...will try to post pics later DH has the camera at work today.

Patty, Love your quilt- it is beautiful.

OK here's a pic before midnight, not trimmed or pressed but done

So many pretty blocks...just waiting for tomorrow so they will get some company!

Trish - I can just hear the sigh of relief in your tone! You did it...got it done and it looks so pretty!

YES...a big sigh of relief Jill...I really do not like QST's is there any easy formula to figure out the correct size that you need when you do the 2 square HST's method? The formula for figuring out the HST's is to multiply or divide by 0.64 depending on whether you know the block size...so I'm assuming there is a formula out there somewhere for QST's? If I were to ever get another tatoo it would be quilty related and useful such as a formula for figuring out block sizes...lol

Sandie you know I love my red and white, just hope I can source enough to make all the blocks...I didn't have as many FQ's or yardage as I thought

I did learn something...when working with all those bias edges...it worked out best for me if I didn't press or set seams until the block was completed, the 2 I pressed lightly were slightly distorted and the 2 rows I didn't went together beautifully

Yay KS! I think that makes you the 20th person to show a block done! I like it and like your colors! Glad you joined in!

I miscounted... it's 21! Nice!
