Barbara, are there videos for each month? Where do I find on the quilt show? Or do I go to YouTube? I’m starting the BOM.

My six month 3 blocks are finished. I hand pieced one using the block instructions but hand pieced the other 5 using the tip Barbara gave of 3 large pieces. Thank you to the fellow quilter who originally shared that; it was a game changer.
I may end up moving some blocks to the outside borders but for now, I’m happy with my pink, teal and “yucky yellow” choices.Last edited by Susanne M.; 03-07-2024, 05:31 PM.Susanne

They look great to me. My favorite color combination. I'm still plugging along, so I haven't posted anything. Soon I hope!

I’ve finished machine piecing six of block #2. This block is really a challenge, but each one is an improvement over the previous one. Maybe by number 20, I’ll feel some degree of mastery over block #2. I’ve been following Sonia’s process, which Barbara outlined in her blog. Thanks, Barbara!Jackie

I completed the first blocks and now thinking about the embroidery that will be happening down the road. Being my African quilt really doesn't go with the flower theme I thought that maybe some African women around the border might be a better choice. Still experimenting with ideas. Any thoughts?

No Vesta, it is just a black fabric, but seems to really bring out the other colours. Thanks so much for you comment. This quilt has been a mystery for me as I seem to be the black sheep of the family. I think if I was to do this pattern again I would have chosen way different fabrics.

to blocks? I saw a border print that might work without doing any work. The other thing I was thinking was to get a sunset
type fabric or if you are doing log cabins, make them in sunset colors and do black silhouette animals and those trademark
African trees. To me the creativity of going off in your own directions is alway wonderfully fun. HelenW

PS If you put some silhouette animals in your quilt you could make a black sheep and put your
initials on it.Last edited by Helen W.; 03-13-2024, 07:25 AM.

Did not do Block2 from the pattern, created something easier for me to handle. Thanks Helen for your help!
To me this requires more brain power than my old job, haha. You ladies rock!Last edited by Alice; 03-19-2024, 12:12 PM.

I’m taking a break til 4/1 to work on another project that has been severely neglected. I substituted a completely different block this month in an effort to keep my quilt a little calmer. It still seems to be a “Jen Kingwell” quilt….but also a “my” quilt. With the pieces on the wall….I’m loving it. A few new fabrics - mostly the low volume/light colored ones - and a lot of old friends from my stash - some (many) of which I didn’t remember buying.
This is so much fun!
