Skydiver70............Have you had trouble posting pictures before? If you have, maybe you need to resize your photo. I know when I first tried, I wasn't able to get mine to post either. Then I learned that I had to re-size the photo. We would love to help you out, so keep us posted. I really want to see your block!! I bet it is so pretty!!
:D :D :D :D

Very pretty blocks ladies!

Such beautiful blocks!

Jeanie, the yellow center makes it look like a real flower!
Urgodschild, I wouldn't change anything. I love the fabric and you did such great fuzzycutting!
BettyB, I wish I had flowers like that in my garden :D
Linda, yours is lovely! I love the applique center!

JeanieG awesome fabric blends..I love it. They totally make the the Oh Susanah block come to life. I can see an entire quilt made of this fabric with this block looking very astounding. Truly wonderful :thumbup: :thumbup:
Urgodschild, Great job! :thumbup:
BettyB, Beautiful job! :thumbup:
Linda, Great idea on the applique center, I can see this variation in a full quilt of blocks also with a different flower design in the middle of each block. :thumbup:

May 2012 Oh Susannah Block
 

This is my May Oh Susannah Block.

I'm a little slow off the mark and have just found this months thread.

Beautiful blocks from everyone and I really love the rounded off corners from Jenniky and Surfergirl - very flower like. I just might have to flatter you both and copy this pretty variation.

Nice colors and design, Surfergirl!

Surfergirl............your block is Beautiful!! :D The purple color's with your yellow center just couldn't be any prettier. Both you & Jenniky have made your blocks extra special. I think I see a neat new trend coming for this block. Hmmm, maybe I should redo mine too!! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us today.
:D :D :D :D

Lynn I love the added points on the ends of the purples.Mary

Surfergirl......I like the purples and the corners. Great job.

That's what I thought too Sulabug. Redoing mine! I love the way the corners are done Surfergirl, it's beautiful :D

Thank you all for the compliments...and thank you, Jenniky, for the idea to make this block look more like a flower. :thumbup:

I love your purples also Surfergirl you plucked a pretty flower! :) As others have said before there is so much talent on this board we all inspire each other to think outside the box and breath a little of ourselves into our blocks via fabric selections and interpretations of the pattern set before us. This is one reason why I love this BOM so much. It's still early in the month..I am excited to see what is still to come for the "OH Susannah" Block. :thumbup:

love your browns and pinks Betty :thumbup:

where do I find the directions for this block and other blocks love it??

I am so glad you asked. Here is the pattern & discussion thread for the May block. Be sure that you share pictures with all of us when you have made your block!!
:D :D :D :D

Lynn your block is so pretty and hope like others that you don't mind another copy cat. I love the the points that look like petals! Beautiful color, beautiful block.

I wanted to do a paper pieced block, so I used a Carol Doak pattern for my May Block.

wow very pretty Nicky.

Nicky, that's a gorgeous flower! A Carol Doak block is still on my to do list!

Nicky........I love your pp'd block from the Carol Doaks selection of pattern's. It will fit into the May BOM for 2012 just fine. Now I am anxious to see how all of your blocks look together so far. Beautiful fabric selections too. You always do such nice work. Thank you for sharing with all of us today.
:D :D :D :D

PS: I just finished making my lighthouse block like yours, today. It's for my house quilt & I love it too!!

Wow I love your PP Block ... :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thank you. We can thank Jenniky for this idea. Thank you Jenniky!

Your block is gorgeous! You did a fantastic job!

Nicky your block is great. Love your colors and pattern.

May BOM Photo
 

Will try to post photo for May....

Jeanie YOur block is very pretty. Very interesting with the flowers. I have tried paper pieces but I have not been good at it. Judy I like the blue and yellow.

Wow Judy, that's a beautiful block with the colors you used!

Judy............Another wonderful "Oh Suzanna" block for the month of May's BOM 2012!! :D The color's you have chosen to put together look just awesome & I love it so much. So bright & cheery looking. You did a very nice job making it. Thank you for sharing with all of us on the Quilting Board.
:D :D :D :D

where do I get the BOM that you all are doing have looked but cannot find the beginning of this one??????

Hi Deb,
Here is the link for this May "Oh Suzanna" Block of the Month. There are always two threads for each month. One for the directions & one for the finished block pictures. I hope this answers your question. We are glad to have you join us in making these pretty blocks!!
:D :D :D :D

I am sharing my May block.........this is a fun BOM!

Judy and Nana I love your blocks and your fabric selections. I never get tired of seeing the variations and recently I have been actually studying each block a little and try to ask myself question about what the fabric colors, prints..so forth do for the pattern.. when I see someone write in reply to a thread.. "that really makes it pop".. Im like .. "What does that mean?" As much as I have read several tutorials and blogs and even purchase a color wheel with instructions.. "I just don't get it" I'm still shooting from the hip :P slang for doing what I think looks good. Im hoping someday I will be able to move closer to and area with quilting shops where I can attend classes and learn more about color and balance of fabrics. Even though I tipped my corners of the Oh Susannah block to make it more of a flower for May..I fully intend to make a full quilt from this block someday. I just think it is so cool. A really great block :P :P

Very cute and clever. Amazing what happens when little square are added to the corners of other squares. I love your idea!

Nana.........your May "Oh Suzanna" block is so pretty. I just love the fabric's & the color's you have put together. It is so cheerful looking & just make's me SMILE!! :D What a good job you have done. Before we know it, the time for the June block will be upon us & I wonder what fun lies ahead for that one!! Thank you for sharing with us today.
:D :D :D :D

I also enjoy seeing all the pretty May blocks, everyone has so much talent.

I've finished my two blocks. Like many others, I made petals and I also used the smaller center that Anael did.
