MONTH 3 -- Show Your Progress Here

[Helen W.]

Jo Anne, Your blocks look great. I like your color palette. HelenW

Here are my first 3 month 3 blocks. I sketched out the block on graph paper, made large appliqué patterns from the sketch, and used the freezer paper/starch method to prepare the pieces. I used the machine applique method to finish it off.

Month 2 not quite finished, 2 to go, but couldn’t resist doing a month 3 block.

[Connie H.]

I totally agree with Helen. Barbara's extra help makes doing these quilts so much better. It also helps create a great community.

Since you’re showing instructions on your blog WHY can’t you post the pattern? There may be those of us who are ready to start.

Pam, You are probably not aware that even though Barbara Black works for The Quilt Show, her blog is not connected
and all those free tips, tricks and valuable quilting advice is available to you free, but Barbara is spending hundreds of
hours of her own time (not paid) over and above her job for The Quilt Show. Most BOM's that I have participated in that are
not part of the Quilt Show, give little to no extra help. You get a packet or pattern once a month and that is it.
I feel we are truly lucky to have someone on the forum that is giving us tons of extra help just from her heart and love of quilting.
I have never seen a better run BOM or one with so much help. HelenW

I release my blog on Sunday. It could have been February 26 or March 3--I chose to be early rather than late. The Quilt Show releases the pattern the first of each month, sometimes a day or so early.

I do the blogs to be helpful, on my own time. If you don't want to see it early, don't look at it.

Drew Barbara's alternate square/petal block up in EQ8 and made a sample, that turned out good enough
to use in the quilt. I drew up an alternate block a while back using the petals from another of Jen's patterns.
Daisy Do. Trying to get as much done as possible, since I am helping several other quilters make unique
quilts for gifts. Right now the volleyball quilt is getting most of my attention. HelenW
