Thanks for the link, Margo. I had to read Sue's blog while I was there The cross hatching does look great but I agree that it really would be tedious.

I FINALLY posted my 2008 BOM's in my personal profile!!! ops: I believe I'm going to stop with the blocks I have done. I'm still thinking about the setting and quilting.....Judy in Torrance

Don't stop now, Judy. You only have 2 to go! I have 9 to go and I still plan on doing them all, even the one with all of those tiny circles.

Judy - Thanks for the nice comments on my top. I checked out your profile and all of your blocks are lovely. I would suggest that you decide how you want to use your quilt and then proceed. I knew from the very first that I wanted a size for a wall hanging and all 12 blocks would be too big to fit my wall space. If you stop now, you could do nine to make a square and then have one with lots of borders for a small wall hanging.

Let us know what you decide and good luck with your decision

PS Your feathered star is wonderful - I really love your fabric choices!

Thank you all for such nice comments. I'm thinking of just using nine blocks, too. Just not sure yet. Judy

I finished the rest of my blocks, Oct, Nov and Dec and put them on the show and tell. I also took a picture of all the blocks hanging up on my design wall. They aren't sewn together, but they are all done.

Heather, it was so great to revisit all of last year's blocks! Your color choices were amazing, and you are going to have a great quilt!

My completed 2008 BOM is in the hands of the long arm quilter! I took it tonight to quilt guild. It got lots of oohs and aahs. I think the l.a.quilter is excited about it! She has a month back log because she had surgery on a bunion. I'm hoping my quilt is whispering wonderful ideas to her!

I just got my quilt back from the quilter late yesterday, it is squared off and I am starting to work on the binding. It looks awesome. (if I may so myself) :wink: :wink: It will take me a while, as have company coming next week.

Margarita and Maggie, I can't wait to see your completed quilts. I am working on my last two borders and then will be able to start quilting it.

My completed 2008 BOM is on my profile. Thanks for all of your encouragement. I quilted it myself, and am ready to start the 2009 BOM. Once, again, thank you all for your tips and ideas!

Linda, congratulations on a job well done! I am now wishing that I had done an applique border!
