At the risk of overloading blog land with a free Bom, here is mine. I have been working on it for a couple of months now and had good intentions of posting on the 1st of Jan, however...other things got in the way.
It is 9 months long and on the 7th day of each month I will post a free pattern for you to stitch. (well hopefully on the 7th!!! it will be around then anyway!!) so maybe by the end of September you will be almost ready with a new quilt for Christmas!!! I haven't quite worked out the final layout yet but I have a few ideas to play with. Each block will end up 8" finished and each block will have a 5 1/2" square (cut) as the centre. (just in case you would like all centres to be the same fabric)
If you would like this pattern click Download Block 1 love . I am working on a little icon at the moment (actually waiting for Jarrod to get home from work to help) and hopefully you will see it in my sidebar soon!!!
Feel free to spread the word.....(it really isn't too early to think about Christmas is it?)
Oh...and just a sneak peek at the quilt I have sent off to Country Threads
Bye for now
Cheers
Gail

The BOM looks great, can't wait to see more. I'll definately be adding this to my "to do" list. Never to early to think of Christmas as it always seems to arrive before you are prepared for it. Thanks for the BOM

All ways room for another BOM. A couple of mine (not free ones though) are coming to an end so am looking to start collecting another one or two. Mind you I am not up to date on any of them so I really shouldn't be starting another one but I will anyway.

Your BOM looks wonderfull, thanks for your work and I'll collect them all. Can't wait to see the whole quilt you've made!

I have printed this now and will start right away. Think this will be my work today home from work with the flu.

What a generous person you are for the BOM. Thinking of Christmas, no way haven't got over the last one yet.

Looking forward to the next one!
