    WOW! I think I'll do this one half-size too... the smallest squares look like they measure 1" x 1" (I see 54 of them on the inner border), so they would be 1/2 x 1/2...
    This is going to be fun!

          It would also work well in Spring/Easter colours - pastel greens, yellows, pinks.

            They're 9 in blocks so I may reduce to 6 ins but was thinking of consolidating the tiny squares, but hmmm we'll see

              We are so spoilt by TQS. I bought a Lynette Anderson "Friends for Christmas" pattern (pattern only) and I know that the pattern was over £60.00 TQS is such great value for the small subscription we pay.

                Doesn't this seem like an odd size quilt? Its not big enough for any of my beds and too big for a wall hanging. I'll think about reducing the size by 1/3 or 1/2 when I see the pattern and how small it would make the applique. Her colors aren't mine and I would do them in brighter happier colors. A long winter in Idaho has you longing for bright vivacious color.

                      It's time for my annual TQS-induced dilemma! Should I do the 2015 BOM, or start on the 2014 BOM (which I missed because I was busy finishing the 2013 BOM! :? )? The 2014 design is more to my liking, but I really enjoy the camaraderie which comes along with doing the current design. What to do??? :shock:

                        Thanks for the link Sue. Lots of food for thought. I am really looking forward to the 2015 BOM.

                            Connie, save all the 2014 BOM instructions and start 2015 with the rest of us, of course!

                              Hard to argue with that logic, Rita! I've got months 0-11 of 2014 and month 0 of 2015 downloaded. My plan is to pick and choose elements of Lynette's design. I have already decided to eliminate the top and bottom borders, and make more of a square, medallion style quilt. Will have to ponder the colorway a bit though...

                              I'm excited to be on the 2015 BOM train!

                                Hurray, good to have you with us Connie. I doubt that I will stick to the pattern - I seem to be allergic to doing that - but I will have fun with it anyway. Looking forward to it now.
