January 2009 BOM Done!

[Patricia S.]

Just finished my block this morning and got it uploaded. I hope this was the hardest thing to piece! I do like how it turned out and my setting triangles are my focus fabric that'll tie it together pretty well I think so far. Most of it will be from my fabric stash and scrappy.
Love them all so far and they're all so different!

Jenny, if you haven't seen it yet, I showed in my tutorial (page 2) how I blocked mine to get it to the exact size. The technique worked beautifully!

Well it's the end of the month and watch me bring up the rear but I just posted my feathered star. It took me 2 1/2 days to cut and piece this block. But it really supported my 2009 quilting resolution to work to improve my construction skills. I couldn't have gotten much slower I don't think. ops:

1 February!! Love the little teaser ("promo") on the Daily Blog today....this is truly going to be my addiction for the year! It is so great to see all the different interpretations of just one month...hard to imagine how different they will all look as the year continues! Nancy

Wow that was a big challenge for me,this will be my 3rd quilt, If I can stick with it. I have to admit that my block is only 15", what happened to the other 1/2 "??? I'm learning a lot thanks to Sue Garman's video instructions, without the video I don't know that I could have done it.

I just went to see your block and it's beautiful. It was a big challenge to me and I've made more than 2 quilts. You did a good job.
