February 2009 BOM done

[Judy M.]

I posted my February BOM and celebrated by opening a bottle of Arthur Earl, Viognier. I am really enjoying the process of this quilt and I am looking forward to the March pinwheels.

Last night I brought my Feb section to Bee and it was well received. I have 10 of the sawtooth stars done. I promise, if I’m not too tired tonight, I’ll post a picture of everything.

I do love looking at everyone’s work. Even though I bought my fabric from TQS, I did find some in my stash that went well so I’ve added a bit here and there. Loving the process.

I finally got the camera this morning and uploaded my picture of the latest round. I did find that I made 14 sawtooth star blocks. I guess I got carried away but it really doesn't matter we do have to make 72 of those suckers. So far so good.

As I said at bee the other night, by the time this is done, I'll be a pretty good piecer.

P.S. I updated my profile picture, I don't know what I was doing but it was the day my DD got married. My DH loves this picture, I look either cold or excited, not sure which but at least it's not BLAH like my last one.

My center is in Show and Tell. Now to the sawtooth stars.

Finally got mine done. Haven't started the sawtooth stars yet, though.

The BOMS's are all great, I love looking at all the blocks it is amazing how many different fabric's and color combinations there are, and how creatively everyone puts them together. Watching them all grow is fantastic. I finished mine late last night and posted it but have not started the sawtooth ones yet. Not sure when I will get to those.
Happy quilting, Nina

It is so great to see how our everybody is taking this pattern and turning it into a quilt of their own! And a big thanks to TQS for putting up the Show&Tell section!

I have finished my Feb. block, but it squared up to 30 inches. I had trouble with one side of the 4-patch so had to do some tweeking.

I will post my pic on the show and tell. You will notice that it is not laying flat..if I spray with water and press..do you think that will help?

The next bit of sewing will be the sawtooth blocks..and then I'm ready for March..

Pat, your 30" will be just fine. Floaters will take care of the difference. If you want to block your piece to make it lie flatter, you might want to check my January tutorial where I show how I blocked mine. You don't need to stretch it to 30-1/2" but you can make it square and flat.

Got mine finished and posted this morning! I had a lot of unsewing to do on those stars because I kept putting the points the wrong way.
Everybody's is gorgeous and so unique. Do we know how many are participating this time - seems like a lot of pictures in there! Great job!
I'm having surgery on Wednesday so for those who would say a prayer, I'd appreciate them. The cyst that I had drained from my kidney in November refilled and so this time I'm having it removed. Will be in the hospital a couple of days.
Thanks so much!
