When we last did a series of BOMs (2018) I did them in batches, so I went quite a few months without doing any, then caught up.  It is a very good way of learning the ropes.

I have done one, but the colours look so awful in the photo that I think I may have to do another one.  They look much better in real life.   -<

@Bjay  ....

No you're not, The BOM only started in Feb ...

Some months we will be making two, some months only one and some months we may be layering and quilting the individual blocks and the last month (November) will be assembling and binding.

Rebellious ... moi ???

@Bjay - I'm very rarely able to get out (was last let out on 6th Jan  :) ) so I'm doing all my BOM's from stash. It's quite rewarding actually, trying to find colours that go together. I don't have a very big stash either so there's not a huge choice but I'm feeling virtuous. :angel:  Do have a go - you'll enjoy it. :)

Changed my mind and made 2 new blocks
This gives me more scope in colour for the subsequent blocks.
Thanks to @Pearl for the inspiration
The pale colours are the same colour as the deep ones, it doesn't come out in the photos

BEEEAUTIFUL @Lowena

You probably went a strip too far .. if you want them to be 12" (finished) just remove two strips from one side (I Think) but its your BOM and you can if you want make them any size you wish ... it will just make assembling them all at the end a lil more tricky but Im sure you, the new improved, more confident Lowena.2 can cope with that!

Your holiday has certainly agreed with you!

I’ve finished...well finished for now. I may revisit it later and sort out the wonky sections.

Very, very nice @LouiseS  ...

loving the greys ... methinks a very subtle, cool, sophisticated quilt could be in the offing!  :devil:
