I know I am a few days early, but I have to give you a sneak peek at this month's Blogger Girls BOM.
These are just the centers of the blocks, but I wanted you to see how really different the two resulting blocks are going to be. Just by changing out some background fabrics for more intense ones, you get such a different feeling. One is quite star like, and the other has a strong buzz saw or pinwheel effect.
This is such a fun project! I am enjoying all my blocks and playing with the fabrics to get different looks for my two blocks each month. You will get to see the two finished blocks on April 1!
The two blocks do have astonishingly different looks due to fabric choices and placement. Whodathunk it would make such a striking difference?
With the endless whirlwind of my life in the past 4 months, I haven't made even the January blocks ... but I do have the patterns and the fabrics chosen.
After our guest leaves tomorrow, perhaps I can fall apart for a day or two and then get back to a normal schedule. I hope so!
Hugs!

I'm keeping up with this project. When I post my pictures on my blog, I get lots of comments about how different the blocks look. I have to say that the challenge of making them look so different is what really excites me about this project! I can't wait for the new blocks. Thanks for the peek.

I am anxiously awaiting the pattern. I know fabric choices can make a big difference but this really shouts that out.
Thanks for sharing.

It's amazing that even though the blocks are the same, they look so different with a change of fabric. This is going to be a fabulous quilt, and I like your choice of fabric, especially the purple in the second block.

What a tease! Can't wait for Monday to roll around. Your blocks are looking great - have you started on the sashing work?

Your piecing is perfection! (and I loved the picture of the lilac bush!!!)
