Helen, I’m not planning on making the 2024 BOM. Are you?

Yes, I am planning on doing the 2024 BOM. I have never done hand piecing but I am hoping I love it. If my skills are not
up to the challenge, I just might add the practice samples as a tool in my tool belt and modify the pattern to a way I can do
it. I am thinking I may do at least part of the pieces as applique. I tried Judith's suggestion of making petals with template
plastic and putting a very narrow run of Elmers glue in the seam allowance, and then folding the seam allowance over the plastic with a hot iron. It is smooth, and easy to do. I use my appliquick flat edge to pop the glue loose from the template. I already
made a pile of petals that way, so will probably use them in this project. HelenW

Dear Sandy, oh I love, love, love your story

[brigitte.wieser]

I can't really believe it, but I finished my quilt today !
I'm very happy with the result and enjoyed the whole process of making it.
And a big Thank You to all of you for sharing your pictures and stories while working on this BOM. They were always inspiration and encouraging for me to hold on.
Therefore I'm looking foreward to the BOM of next year and hope I'll meet all of you again.

I am not very computer savvy. My comments did not get posted. This is my first BOM. It is also my first hand appliqued quit. I learned a lot and felt very challenged all along the way. I am so happy to be finished.

Love your colors!

Your added border is so nice. I would love to copy it, but I don't know if I will have the energy after finishing the quilt.

This was a very difficult project with all the piecing, applique, embroidery, etc. i admit my piecing has improved and I didn’t have any issues with stitching all the rows. I did have a few words as I had problems with seams not turning the right direction but hopefully, it will quilt without problems. I’m not sure how you could everrrr do this project without this issue coming up…I found that really aggravating. Ha. BUT, it’s done.Yea!

[Carol G.]

Beautiful! And I agree with all your comments
