MONTH 1 -- Show Progress Here

[Paula S.]

January is done, and I'm a little behind, but this has been a great amount of fun. I have really enjoyed seeing what others have done with the same idea!

[Christine H.]

Love the Asian inspired fabric for the vase. I am doing the same. Great minds think alike!

[Eula M.]

Your vase is lovely.

Finished month 1 needle turn appliqué. It is the first time I have used the glue to hold the pieces, I usually use pins, l liked the small dab if glue and will continue using it

[Janet H.]

I like the pieced background. Very nice!

[Ellen L.]

Finished. It took me a bit longer than I expected. My saw tooth border was too small by a significant margin. I took a few days of think and today I decided to just add a quarter inch to each end of the saw tooth borders. I could have done them in my background white, but decided to add more strawberries and I'm happy with it. It measures the correct size now.

Looks like Paula S. and I used the same asian-inspired fabric for our vases! I'm doing satin-stitch machine applique and getting inspiration from the posted pictures.

[Paula S.]

Awesome.. I am enjoying seeing how many of my chosen fabrics are being used by others.. I love how you chose to place the crane

[Jennifer H.]

I've challenged myself to use only fabrics from my stash for this BOM. I also wanted to figure out the math to machine piece the dog tooth borders. I'm pleased so far.

Month One Finished, Enjoying the Ride!

[Jo Anne]

Gorgeous! Love the purple fabric on the left flower- perfect choice!

[Jane P.]

Finished month one of the BOM. I struggled some with the paper piecing on the border, but I think it turned out good. Other than the paper piecing, I really enjoyed the process. Hopefully I will figure out the paper piecing better this month!!

My completed block 1

[Denise L.]

Finished block 1! Using dark purple for background will be a challenge as I only had enough for this block- Off to the quilt shop.

[Connie P.]

I am using a black background with bright gellato ombre for the flowers. Nice to see it with the border. How did you make the 1/8" stems for the berries?

[Denise L.]

I used the Karen K Buckley method and her 1/8” plastic guides- then sewed with tiny :) stitches.
