Maybe someone will be willing to do the journal as a seperate project.

I'm sorry. If I had've known that Block of the Month meant everyone did the same thing like a kit or being in a class, I would never have mentioned Jounal as an idea. I just didn't understand that doing different blocks each month to the same topic was only a group activity. I won't make that mistake again. :oops:

We truly appreciate your idea of journaling & thank you so much for sharing!! :D We put this post up for any & all idea's. It gives each one of us something new to think about. It may not be picked for the BOM, but I am sure that you have made several of us think about doing your very idea, with another project!! Please continue to share with all of us. We never know what great idea that will turn out to be the perfect project!!
I thank you for your input!!

If everyone is doing the same block each month I suggest we go to the first suggetions and do the houses. I have found several online and in books and even a barn, a school house, a mansion, and many varities of houses. Someone get us a block up and I will do it and journal for myself. I need the companionship of real people. My life is so lonely and my quilting, crafting etc. keeps me going.

How about expanding on the houses idea? Light houses were mentioned. Well, that's a "house". And a school house block? And a Post Office? (okay, not as house but hey.. ). Make it a "Town" Quilt. School, Post office, Church, Mosque, houses, lighthouse (make it a town by the sea) Police station, Firehouse, Library, Doctor office, a park, a marina, etc.?
Something beyond stars and churn dashes. But still do-able for beginners willing to give paper piecing a go.

It sounds like a doable for me. I will like to do one with water since I saw a block done where the woman used different strips of blue materials for the water. It was beautiful. I have a photographic memory so I don't remember where I saw it.

A BOM would be the only way for me to even try something like this. I need the support and guidance of other quilters when trying something new. And you have a whole month to make the block and lots of people who are working on the same block to help you with advise and questions.
But whatever is decided I'm in, just for the learning experience and fun. I can't wait to see what we're going to do!!!
