Elizabeth Dackson from Don't Call Me Betsy started the Epic Sampler BOM in October. The finished quilt will be 60" x 72", consist of 6" and 12" blocks, some paper pieced and there will be three blocks a month.
It didn't take long for me to become behind! I was behind before it even started!! Four months later, I decided I better get my butt in gear! But wait!! I didn't have a clue what colors or fabric I was going to use! Same old, same old!
After a couple attempts with the color sheet, I settled on a rainbow theme. This will be my guide. Since there are three blocks per month, and they aren't in any particular order, it will be interesting to see how this will play out. The background will be a combination of white and grey.
This is a good old classic!

If you want to learn paper piecing, I think this is a perfect block to start with.

I lost my way on this one! With 37 pieces, I easily became confused. In the end I changed it up and decided it will be just fine!

I am in LOVE with this block! I see a future in this one, by far my favorite!

How about that Vinyl WIP bag?! It's the perfect size to hold and keep all by finished BOM blocks safe and sound!
I bought more vinyl for a new idea I have brewing in my head! Stay tuned for that, it should be interesting...she said with her fingers crossed...

Three more blocks to go and I'll be caught up! Yay! Picking colors and fabric for a project is difficult for me, it always has been. And I often wonder why I make it difficult for myself. Especially for a BOM. In the end, I go with my gut and as always...fly by the seat of my pants!
Tell me what you think? Do you like Block of the Month clubs? Are you participating in one now? Do you enjoy them?
