Yes I saw the brown and green tones she's using. Beautiful, just like the 2008 BOM, all beautiful and so different. I did have the good fortune to see this quilt done in Houston and my jaw dropped. Sue's choice of colors and prints are stunning. I can't take credit for the fabric, I just handed over my ATM card at the booth.

Hi Elaine, I saw your daughter's BOM and it is beautiful. I love the colors she is using and I can't wait to see yours. How wonderful to have your daughters along for the journey. SandyTN

Linda -- just saw your BOM and love it. I love batiks and I am still deciding on fabric -- I better get cracking. LOL

I just posted my finished feathered star in the Show & Tell. I took it very slowly working on this so I wouldn't make a mistake. When paper piecing, I sometimes sew it the wrong direction. I only ripped out 4 pieces, 2 because I sewed them the wrong direction and 2 because I placed them wrong and they didn't fill the space. I'm very pleased with the final result.

I am new to the Forum and have just started the 2009 BOM. I talked two of my daughters into doing it also. One lives close by but the other is a couple days drive. It is fun to communicate over the internet and this wonderful site. I would like you to see my daughters quilt block she just finished and put up. It is the one with the brown background. I am so proud of both of them for tackling this project. Hopefully I will finish mine tomorrow and get it in the Show and Tell. Thanks Elaine in Montana

I love it!! Great job! Great colors!

Can I be jealous? :

I think I'll take tomorrow off since I just this minute finished 2008! Want to revel in it for a day or so!

Congrats!!!!!

PS: I'll use the freezer paper PP method also.

BEAUTIFUL work, Denise!!!

Well I ordered my thread today so I should be able to start on mine sometime next week. Your block looks wonderful.

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!

Denise, I am so jealous of your speediness and beauty of your block. I know you are proud. Go girl, peg in mo

You Go, Girl! With Lorchen, I am bowing low to you Denise! Great job! Mary Kay

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.

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.

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.
