This year I joined my girlfriend in hosting a BOM on the HGTV Quilters message board. We have a little fun with the gals and have a guessing game to guess what block we picked for the month. The blocks for this year are all stars and can come from anywhere on the web.
Marcia Hohn at QuiltersCache is very gracious in allowing us to pick and post blocks from her fantastic site. The good thing about getting to help in the hostess department is that I get my blocks done! :-) LOL We are doing both a 12 inch block and a 4 inch block and one of my jobs is to figure out the 4 inch block ~ I love EQ6! :-)
Here are January's blocks...
and February's blocks....
The multi-colored paisley fabric is my focus fabric and I'll pull all the coordinating fabrics from the colors in that fabric. So it will be a 'controlled scrappy' quilt. :-)
For the girls who are from HGTV and following my blog~ sorry, I won't reveal any secrets here. :-)) I don't even know March's block yet, so there is no chance of that happening! LOL ;-)
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

Love the blocks
Very nice- I may have to join you.
i really like those january blocks. the way the triangles are laid out looks really neat!
Love this BOM! Especially the little 4 inchers..cute, cute.
The little 4 inch block is so cute!
Your paisley fabric is going to be wonderful in these blocks. Love the different stars!
those are all going to look so nice together - using that same paisley print as the focus... will both your 12" and 4" blocks all be together in the same quilt? or two separate quilts?
If all together - that reminds me a lot of my first ever BOM that was a 1930s - remember that one? all of the blocks joined together of multiple sizes.... but I'm sure with your EQbrain you will figure out something spectacular!
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
ps did you try out the new way to load the photos - so you didn't have to wait?? ;)
let me know how it went for you.

Love them! Will you continue to post here, too?
I'm learning to love EQ6, too. I just added it after the big computer crash. I've used it a couple of times is all, but I'm liking all the new and improved features!
Wonderful blocks S! Love the fabrics! 8-)
