   BOM in progress by TQSWizard

As we all know, life often gets in the way keeping us from working on our quilt projects.  There seems to be so little time to do the fun stuff.  Recently I suggested that you might want to consider a Block of the Month project.  After all, you only need to make one block a month.  Everyone should be able to accomplish that.  

I decided to begin this yearlong BOM project called Flowers and Flutters when I saw it in my local quilt store in July.  As the pattern series began in January I had some catching up to do.  But, as you can see I only need to complete the block for October at this point.  Woohoo!

The original design has a background of creams.  I want my quilt to have more punch, so I chose black instead.  I also substituted some of the fabrics in a couple of blocks to suit more my taste.  After all this is going to be a quilt for my family.  The quilt police aren't going to come to my house to scold me.

The pattern and fabrics chosen are based on the designer's taste.  They are only a suggestion not the law.  If you don't like an aspect of the design or fabrics, change it.  The end result is a quilt that is more of a reflection of you.
