Okay ladies finally after a correction my March block is ready! I printed my Lucky Clover templates out of EQ7 to the size I needed and all went just great!

Oh I am working on April's block....just finished cutting out the pieces and will work on it tomorrow.
Cataract surgery Wed so will be couple of days before I get it finished. It's a pretty one!

Hugs,
Betty

It is a pretty one!

Here's mine. The oranges really do match better than the picture looks. I'm doing a second one with one large center block but for now here's the first one. Y seams and I may not be BFF's but I'm getting better at them.

Thanks Sula for your warm greeting :) and I love all the different fabrics I am seeing being used in the 2013BOM's in the first three months. Im super excited to see what is in store for us next month. :)

Here is my first block of the month that I have ever done. I enjoyed learning how to play with Y seams and I'm looking forward to catching up!

How does one get started with this and are there links to instructions for this month and the previous ones? I have an awful time manuvering this board so any and all help appreciated. Thank you

Hi sew diva
Try this link it will explain how it all work for this month then change March for January and February. The for each month after watch out on the 1st of each month for a new one. Hope this helps

Betty............WOW, your black & white combination block for March 2013 with a splash of color, really turned out gorgeous. I love how it turned out & am so glad that you were able to get it done before your eye surgery. I bet all of your blocks are going to look so nice together. You mentioned that you are starting the April block, does this mean you have picked the April block out? Now we will have to bug you until it's time to post it the first of April!! Take care of your eye & we will see you when you post next. Good LUCK!!
:D :D :D :D

Trivia42..........your first block for the BOM 2013 project couldn't have turned out any nicer. The colors you chose to put together are wonderful & your Y seams look great. We will all be anxious to see your second block, with the solid center too. That is the way I chose to make my block. Keep up the good work & keep sharing your pictures with all of us here on the Quilting Board!!
:D :D :D :D

Southern124...........Oh my Goodness, your first BOM block for 2013 has turned out lovely & we can hardly wait to see the others, as you get caught up. Will you be using this same color combination with your other blocks too? It will be a very pretty quilt. Keep up the wonderful work.
:D :D :D :D

Love your blocks. Already have too many BOMs but I am enjoying this virtual BOM

Everyone's BOM's are lookin good.Cant wait for Aprils. :thumbup:

I am doing Y seams!!!! I watched the tutorial at Jinny Beyer's website, watched it twice- and I am doing Y seams! I am doing a happy dance! Wasn't sure about this months block, but now I am.

Is not it great when you get the hang of something and it opens doors for you to do so many more fun things with your fabrics. :thumbup:

I really like these two... the black and white plays well in these blocks. Good job!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]401563[/ATTACH]This is my second finished block of the month. I tried paper piecing on the heart. Not too bad. I tried the January one and it took so much effort that I only did one section but I found that I had learned some about y seams. I have only been quilting a few months. I will add this to the other 25 squares that I have already done to practice different techniques. I would make a sampler quilt but it would be so ugly! Each one has different colors and they just don't seem to go together. But I have been having a great time learning the different techniques. I might graduate to a lap robe one of these days.

Sparkling Lake...........Your March 2013 BOM block has turned out wonderful. The color's & farbic's you chose to put together are stunning. For only quilting three month's, you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work & we will all be waiting to see your next block, when it's finished!!
:D :D :D :D

Thank you Sulabug. I have been having great time learning. I actually started last fall but I have been like a crazy woman working almost every day trying different patterns. I don't shop much but now I am at fabric shops as often as I can. It is as if a magnet is pulling me there! I have always loved material and now I have a way to use it. Learning to quilt was on my list of things to do after I retired.

See u next month Betty. Hope ur cataract surgery does as well as mine did. No more glasses except for some over the counter reading lenses just because it feels more comfortable. lol. Have not started my blocks yet as have so much going on trying to finish some committments.

Yep, I do have the April Block choice and it's a doozy! lol Mine turned out great, better than I pictured it! Can't wait...I'll be posting early April 1st(well if I remember to be early!)! lol

Hugs,
Betty

Wow everyone's March block is terrific. I love the diverse colors..and that orange one...man that just hits me in my favorite color! lol

Hugs,
Betty

Love the way you designed your March block... makes me feel like drinking some Mtn Dew. LOL Awesome job. :thumbup:

Thanks Jenniky for the kind words. I really enjoyed doing this one. Mt. Dew? That is creative! You know that I will always remember that when I look at that square LOL.:D

Sparkling Lake....Great fabric choices.. Lots of movement in you block. :) very nice job


Judy in Phx, AZ

Thanks Judy. Hadn't thought about movement. That adds to my learning process. I really had fun w/ this one.

Is it April yet? Oops just teasing everyone?

Hugs,
Cajun

I sure wish it was. That would mean it is closer to when I can ride by motorcycle! I also wish it was April so that we could start on a new block. :(

OK- I've seen the blocks!
What is the secret???? All the points line up.

Please share information- as I'm on my fourth BOM and still working on lining up points.

I have really enjoyed seeing other people's block. There is so much variety and expertise. Can't wait to see next month's.

LOL Cajunbear.... the best part of the BOM is the anticipation of the next month.. Are we there yet??? Ha Ha !! :D:D:D

Jenniky, it's funny because yesterday my hubby discovered that I thought next Sunday was Easter! Man I wanted to get my dress altered and ready and I am just now seeing good. Didn't want to mess up that new dress for Easter! lol So I'll wait until later in the week to fix it! lol I have two weeks now before the 1st! lol

Hugs,
Cajun

Caroline love your blocks great fabrics :thumbup: Im so excited for April to come around to see what Cajunbear has in store for us. :) :) :)

Know what you mean Cajun I'm always messing up my days and dates and holidays. Good to know you are feeling better and your vision is clearing. :)

I think I put my photo in the wrong thread. I'll go edit that one. Here's my March BOTM
