JULY's BLOCKS - 2005-2006 RCTQ Block-of-the-Month (BOM)
Sorry these are a week early. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get online
between now and the normal time I post them due to a hectic work schedule and my and my DH's 5 year anniversary celebrations. So you get the July BOM's a week early!!! Bad news is it will seem like forever until the August's BOM's!!!! NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to the July blocks and skip the background info, July's blocks are at the very end of this post. Melissa in NJ ========================================= ======================= RCTQ BOM Background Info: ======================= How this BOM works is that I post two block patterns each month near the beginning of each month. One pieced and one applique. They are all free on the Internet. It is up to you whether you would like to do the pieced block or the applique block (or both!). You will work at your own pace over the course of each month. You keep your blocks. You do not mail them to me. At the end of the year you will have twelve blocks to set into a quilt. You keep the quilt. You do not mail it to me. You will then have your very own 2005-2006 RCTQ BOM Quilt. At that time I will collect pictures of the finished quilts so we can all see how different each quilt looks even though we all started with the same block patterns. When I announce a month's block patterns, I will also include the previous months' as well so if you decide to join along the way you will have all the blocks. Pieced blocks will be 12" in size and applique blocks will be 8" in size. This is driven by what is available for free on the Internet. Feel free to size up/down if you so chose. ============== Monthly Pictures: ============== To see pictures of each month's completed blocks navigate to the following URL (Thanks Teri!): http://gallery.ppwp.com/gallery/RCTQ-BOM To submit pictures, email Teri at: teri at terbear dot com At the end of the BOM year I'll create a gallery website for the completed quilts. ============ BOM Schedule: ============ This BOM runs from February 2005 through March 2006. This is how the schedule breaks down: ================================================== ======== February 2005-January 2006: Monthly blocks February 2006: Completing the Top (setting, sashing, borders, etc.) March 2006: Completing the Quilt (quilting, binding, labeling, etc.) - Done! ==================== Previous Months' Blocks: ==================== FEBRUARY: --------------------------- Pieced (12" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/V_Z/Wat...tionBlock.html Applique (8" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/D_F/FolkFeathersBlock.html MARCH: --------------------------- Pieced (12" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/A_C/AntiqueTileBlock.html Applique (8" finished): http://quiltmaker.com/patterns/patt99/ The instructions are for a 6" block with very little whitespace around the design, just make your background fabric 8" (finished) rather than 6", or if you want, size up the block on a copier to 133%. NOTE: If you want to keep the same look to the applique blocks, piece the background in the same manner as you did for February's block, as I don't think any of the future applique ones specify that type of background. APRIL: --------------------------- Pieced (12" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/S_U/TwistingStarBlock.html NOTE: This one uses templates. If you'd prefer not to fiddle with templates (I didn't!!) do the following instead. Pattern tested by me to make sure this works: A (Color 1): 5 1/8" squares. Make 2. Cut diagonally to make triangles. B (Color 2): 5 3/8" squares. Make 2. Cut diagonally to make triangles. C (Color 2): 3" squares. Make 2. Cut diagonally to make triangles. D (Color 3): 7 1/4" x 2" rectangles. Make 8. Cut 45 degrees off ends to make trapezoids. E (Color 1): 2 3/8" squares. Make 2. Cut diagonally to make triangles. Applique (8" finished) - Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view (PDF): http://home.comcast.net/~quiltngryhn...TQAprilBom.pdf NOTE: If you want to keep the same look to the applique blocks, piece the background in the same manner as you did for February's block.

Thanks so much, Melissa! My hubby just bought a new boat and will be
spending the day on the bay, so I have the whole day to myself for quilting! I have to take pix of my April and May blocks, and I found the perfect June fabric today, so that one will be done tomorrow as well. I am traveling most of July, so waiting for August will be ok for me. And I love your choice of block as well - already know the fabric I'm going to use! -- Alice in NJ, Royal Cybrarian http://www.ourcyberfamily.us http://www.ourcyberfamily.us/RCTQ/index.htm (add a recipe) "Just about the time a woman thinks her work is done, she becomes a grandmother."

I loved it! I finished June and cut and pieced the 9 units for july but
didn't put it together yet, when I do will post pics. however, I already know it looks great! This house hunting is cutting big time into my weekend quilting time! But we'll be happy in a nice new place of our own for the first time ever so it is worth it! BTW, taking Sofi with us is a hit, today a lady let us into her house sans agent - we probably look harmless (the agent sends us listings, we drive by to figure out which ones we want to see the inside of and which ones are too ugly/close to the highway/need to much work to be worth it. I think I am going to stop making the apliques, I fail to see how they will all fit together - maybe I'll make a wall hanging with the 4 I have. July's blocks are at the very end of this post.

This is how the schedule breaks down: ================================================== ======== February 2005-January 2006: Monthly blocks February 2006: Completing the Top (setting, sashing, borders, etc.) March 2006: Completing the Quilt (quilting, binding, labeling, etc.) - Done! ==================== Previous Months' Blocks: ==================== FEBRUARY: --------------------------- Pieced (12" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/V_Z/Wat...tionBlock.html Applique (8" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/D_F/FolkFeathersBlock.html MARCH: --------------------------- Pieced (12" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/A_C/AntiqueTileBlock.html Applique (8" finished): http://quiltmaker.com/patterns/patt99/ The instructions are for a 6" block with very little whitespace around the design, just make your background fabric 8" (finished) rather than 6", or if you want, size up the block on a copier to 133%. NOTE: If you want to keep the same look to the applique blocks, piece the background in the same manner as you did for February's block, as I don't think any of the future applique ones specify that type of background. APRIL: --------------------------- Pieced (12" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/S_U/TwistingStarBlock.html NOTE: This one uses templates. If you'd prefer not to fiddle with templates (I didn't!!) do the following instead. Pattern tested by me to make sure this works: A (Color 1): 5 1/8" squares. Make 2. Cut diagonally to make triangles. B (Color 2): 5 3/8" squares. Make 2. Cut diagonally to make triangles. C (Color 2): 3" squares. Make 2. Cut diagonally to make triangles. D (Color 3): 7 1/4" x 2" rectangles. Make 8. Cut 45 degrees off ends to make trapezoids. E (Color 1): 2 3/8" squares. Make 2. Cut diagonally to make triangles. Applique (8" finished) - Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view (PDF): http://home.comcast.net/~quiltngryhn...TQAprilBom.pdf NOTE: If you want to keep the same look to the applique blocks, piece the background in the same manner as you did for February's block. MAY: --------------------------- Pieced (12" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/P_R/PrairieQueenBlock.html Applique (8" finished) - Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view (PDF): http://home.comcast.net/~quiltngryhn...RCTQMayBom.pdf NOTE: If you want to keep the same look to the applique blocks, piece the background in the same manner as you did for February's block. JUNE: --------------------------- Pieced (12" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/J_L/Lad...ake2Block.html Applique (8" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/S_U/Sta...centBlock.html NOTE: If you want to keep the same look to the applique blocks, piece the background in the same manner as you did for February's block. ================================================== ======== ==================== JULY's Blocks: ==================== Pieced (12" finished): http://www.quilterscache.com/A_C/Cas...eAirBlock.html Applique (8" finished) - Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view (PDF): http://home.comcast.net/~quiltngryhn...CTQJulyBom.pdf NOTE: If you want to keep the same look to the applique blocks, piece the background in the same manner as you did for February's block.

"I think I am going to stop making the apliques, I fail to see how they
will all fit together - maybe I'll make a wall hanging with the 4 I have." What can I do to make them better? I didn't realize they were so disjointed. I thought they all had a kinda folk look to them. Except for maybe the crescent being a little different. Beleive it or not there isn't a lot of free 8" applique out there that isn't too intimidating, but also isn't so simple people get bored. What should I be looking for then? Melissa in NJ
