My LQS is doing a block of the month using Marti Michell templates

Quite honestly, this is the first BOM I’ve ever been involved in locally. I AM thoroughly enjoying cutting and stitching the blocks EXCEPT for the fabric my LQS chose. I know, I know… beauty is in the eye of the beholder but do any of you see the beauty?? Maybe I should post a larger view!
As another example, here are a two more blocks.

While I am using the fabrics chosen by my LQS for my Block of the Month, Rachel is creating blocks with fabrics she has chosen. What do you think?


To create our BOM blocks, we are using templates that are brand new to me – the 3″ Square Basic Set by Marti Michell. Have you used her templates before? I LOVE how easy it is to match up pieces and POINTS for sewing AND there are no blasted dog ears to trim off.
Oh, in addition to using the template set, we added this book into the mix for MORE BLOCKS that can be created from this ONE SET.

Are you curious to see just what ONE SET of TEMPLATES can do??? Check out this very brief video.
Well, I better run! Gotta get this block done so that I can get the next one FREE from my LQS.
