It's really cute.

I will be doing the fuse and raw edge applique. I'm almost done Jan and Feb is done. Will start the March one this weekend.

My background fabric - well money is tight and I just couldn't spend more $$ on fabric at this time so I took all my beige fabrics in my stash and cut 91/2 in squares and sewed 4 together to make a large 4 patch 2 light 2 dark, makes it a bit more interesting.

Will post pictures of Jan and Feb when done. Thankfully I do have a lot of cream/beige fabric, just not a big square of it. I did put all 12 blocks together and basted the edges on all of them so I have been busy with that portion of it.

Isn't that what we originally started quilting with - leftovers... time to put them to good use.

Bridget473 OFFLINE Posts: 223	Everyone's blocks are looking soooo good! I love seeing all of the color combinations! Fabulous! Well, I got March done this evening and posted it on my profile. I can't believe 1/4 of the blocks are already done. This is my first BOM and I'm amazed at how fast it's flying by!

BBGirl OFFLINE Posts: 29	Hi All, I've posted Feb & March finally. I love the embroidery Nancy. I think you may have started a trend. I'm going to go back and add some as I have the time. Right now I'm just trying to keep current. I'm doing some remodeling to my quilting room and won't be able to get into it for about a week.
