My local quilt shop is haveing a BOM (block of month) and I was very excited to partake. I had the bright idea that I would follow the instructions and practice with some scraps before I actually cut the fabric that came with the pattern. The idea of this was to prevent mistakes and I would end up with two quilt tops at the end of the year. My practice BOM will be out of red, white and blue fabric. My idea did not turn out as planned. My practice block went great, not one hiccup. My actual BOM I cut the fabric wrong on two different places, I had to sew two pieces together to get the correct size for one block. The block did not go together correctly and it is not square. I am going to try really hard to just tell myself that it will add character to the finished top. I always here that every quilt has mistakes and no one ever notices . I have to take the completed block into the quilt shop and then I will receive the next block free. I hope they don't inspect it or even look at it. On the flip side my sister in law is going to the quilt shop with me and I am so excitied. She has just started quilting and we have never done any quilting activities together. I wouldn't be suprised if I didn't causally brouse the quilt shop looking for some of the fabric that came with the first BOM and then correct my block..... I can't wait good company and a quilt shop, sound like the start to a great weekend.
