Hi Nan: Yes, welcome back indeed, glad you'll be making the 2009 BOM along with us. I can only spend about 1 to 1/2 hours on it during the week, sometimes not that much and I finish all the blocks for that month within 2 weeks, so I'm sure you can get caught up with the rest of us. I also purchased the kit at the 2008 IQF in Houston, and indeed it is beautiful fabric. I can't wait to get if all finished. I'll have a big problem in December as I will be on a two week cruise that starts Nov. 29, and we won't return until December 13, and with Christmas looming right around the corner, I'll probably only get it printed out, so I'll have to get busy with it as soon as I can. I'm already saving my pennies to have it quilted AND on my bed as soon as I can.
Heidi
