I finished by appliqué blocks. Preparing to travel to winter home so will wait doing the borders. I plan on appliqué diamonds. Thanks for all the pointers.
look forward to next years BOM.

My quilt will be blue and white without the vases, here are 2 diamond borders, they went well with Barbaras instructions

[Helen W.]

Jill, I would love to see your quilt blocks as you make them. I was thinking about using the flowers
without vases in another quilt I plan to make. HelenW

[Jill P.]

I will do, but I have so many other projects ongoing, I’m a Contemporary Quilter in England so design all my pieces but like to follow a pattern sometimes when I’m waiting for inspiration.
I have started quilting but it’s put away just now, it will be done in the winter months then I’ll put it up.

Loved making the little vases. And so happy to see progress. On the photo that we received for this month's blocks, it looked like Irene Blanck did not add the 1/8 inch stem above the flower petals. So I decided to leave them off as well.

I wish I had left them off. They were a pain!

[Elizabeth A.]

Getting prepared for the borders. I decided to change the direction of the stripe. Cannot see the seam at all! I wish now I had used “fuse and press for the diamonds and I wouldn’t have to remove the backing.

You do not remove the background. Irene’s instructions say to remove the paper BEFORE you appliqué in place. My video clearly shows this.

[Elizabeth A.]

Wrote that incorrectly…. Remove the diamond card is what I should have said

[Barbara B.]

Now I understand. Got it.

Month 10

[laurelomac]

I love coneflowers, so I turned the pattern upside down. Next step is borders and the end is in sight!

[Barbara B.]

I love everything about this!

[cbraswell]

Month 10 vases. Decided I couldn’t stand to make 30 little circles so made branches instead.

[JANET E.]

It is looking good. I have all the diamonds cut and ready to sew together.

[Petalleach]

love your tumbling berries!!

[Linda J.]

Finished

Ding ding ding! The FIRST finish—lovely.

ICenter with top and bottom blocks and left side blocks are sewn together. They have fit together perfectly. I paper pieced the border diamonds using the printed triangle strips from the pattern. Have already chosen flower, leaf and vase fabric for November blocks. I can hardly wait to get the printouts. This has been fun.
