    January 2009 BOM Done!

    Took me all day but I finished it.

    I took a picture - here it is.

    Everyone's hints and Sue's instructions were perfect. Cut, sew, press,trim. One step at a time but it came out almost perfect, it's perfect enough for me!

    Love the fabric - bought it in Houston and I'm very pleased with it and the color key is helpful too.

      Congratulations, Denise! Bowing real low in your direction......

      I haven't manage to start the 2008 BOM yet. Ah well, I'll retire in 2017 and will have more time then.

              Great job, Denise! I'm using stash fabrics and have been working off and on for two days on mine. I have all the paper piecing done now and I just hope my units go together as beautifully as yours have done!

                What a beautiful block Denise. Now I know I'm going to do mine tomorrow. I have my patterns printed. I use freezer paper and don't sew to the paper. I sure hope my block comes out as nice as yours.

                  Denise, love your block. I have all fabrics cut, and pattern ready to start, I think I will wait till tomorrow. Did do the house in the instructions, as I have not really done much Paper Piecing before. I think I can get it done, Sue's instructions are great, and so are Margo's tutorials.

                    I did have to do some "reverse sewing" here and there so don't think it was a breeze. I was thankful to have the day off where I could really concentrate. Doing this block after a full day of work would not have been easy.

                    Thank you all for your kind words. Oh and what have I been doing since I finished the January block? I'm finished the August 08 block. Yes, I'm still working on 2008. I had a wedding for my DD this fall and just found out she's pregnant!!!! I'm going to have to start planning a baby quilt or 2 or 3.... My first grandbaby and also my SIL's parents will first time grandparents too.

                    It's been a very eventful week.

                          Wow, Denise, you're speedy. I only just decided what colors I want to use and haven't even begun pulling/buying fabrics! LOL. Great job!
