[QUOTE=owasyleczko;n890868]Just watched the LIVE. Thank you Barbara for all you do. Didn't know how to ask my question during the LIVE so doing it here. As a quilter I consider myself to be a technician, strive for accuracy and love doing intricate work. Picking fabrics is not my forte. I purchased the BOM kit for that reason and find myself struggling to pick the fabrics for the different elements as many are very different from Irene's, which I was aware of before we began. Would you have any suggestions to reduce the stress of this process? [/QUOTE]
Breathe. Don't overthink it. Look at the close up photos of Irene's quilt--there will be more each month--and try to see what you like in the kit that resembles hers. I keep adding some of my own favorites in.Barbara Black

Good show today …. I’m getting ready to make my circles. I’ll watch the Karen Buckley for help. Have I missed what size the corner block is for the saw tooth border? Waiting on my new light box to put it all together. Thank you for making the border templateElizabeth Anderson

[QUOTE=drapelady;n890882]It would be helpful to know the cut sizes of the background fabric for the appliqued vases so I don't end up not having big enough pieces for them. Is that possible?[/QUOTE]
You will be safe with 14" (H) x 15" (W) until we get to Months 10 and 11. There are four vases that have backgrounds cut 16" x 8" in Months 10 and 11.Barbara Black

[QUOTE=kathib;n890873]Barbara, did you know your Take 2 Sampler is on display at the Texas Quilt Museum? Come see us! [/QUOTE]
NO, I didn't know that! Thank you. I would love to come see it there--I have been to the Texas Quilt Museum twice and will come by again. Just need to find a guild/shop in Central Texas that wants me to come teach--always open to a Texas visit.

Orysia, Be sure to read Barbara Vase tip for cutting out the shape and auditioning it on a fabrics til you see one that looks good. You window out
a shape of a flower and move it to different fabrics until you see one you really like. Ellen's suggest was excellent too. HelenW

Thank you to you and Ellen for your encouraging words. Working away and as Barbara said, BREATHE. Still working on preparing pieces, will post a picture once assembled on the background.

[QUOTE=ellenceleste;n890940]I feel your pain. This is more free form that some of the previous BOM's. Think of this as flower arranging. How would you like this bouquet to look? Choose something you like for each flower that will give you a pleasing bouquet. Find a fabric you really like for the vase. That might be your focal point for the month. Find a good color for the stems and leaves. Then what flowers would look good with those stems? They don't have to look realistic, just pleasing to you. Once you've got your bouquet done, you could use those same fabrics for the diamond border for this month. I just sat down this morning and took a deep breath and made one daisy. It's a blue background with little strawberries. (not from the kit, I put together a bunch of fabrics from my LQS, although I can already see that I'll be pulling little bits and pieces from my stash, and from leftovers of previous BOMs.) You've only got to concentrate on this bouquet right now. Post a pic when you're done! I've got one daisy sewn on and I'll be travelling for the next two weeks. I hope to see your beautiful bouquet when I come home.[/QUOTE]
thank you Ellen for your suggestions. Adding to the kit fabrics from my stash has helped. Safe travels.

[QUOTE=msquiltlady;n891044]Barbara you mentioned someone in your group used pearls 8 thread to make the for the stems will all the berries. I found a pic some place but now can’t find it
so how many strands. ? It looks like 2 rows of embroidery stitch but I can tell what stitch they used. Thank you [/QUOTE]
I don't know--it looks like a basic chain stitch. Try several stitches to see which you like. It also looks like one strand of Perle 8 thread.

Barbara - first of all thanks so much for your hard work and information on this! I am so excited to work on this. Every morning i feel like a little kid at Christmas - LOL! I know that applique patterns do not have the 1" scale box but i think there is one page in your information that does have a 1" scale box. I am having difficulty finding that one page now - does anyone remember the file name and specific page that has that scale box? Thanks! :o)
