OCTOBER'S BLOCKS - 2005-2006 RCTQ Block-of-the-Month (BOM)
It's that time...for the piecers of the bunch we're moving from two
stars to three stars!!! We'll be doing three star rated blocks from now until the final block in January. NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to the October blocks and skip the background info, October's blocks are at the very end of this post. Melissa in NJ  =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3 D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D RCTQ BOM Background Info: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3 D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 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. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Monthly Pictures: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 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. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D BOM Schedule: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D This BOM runs from February 2005 through March 2006.

Can't answer for Nann -but those 4 small pumpkin-colored triangles will
become flying geese with the blue print. The center square will be 1 piece. The 4 white corners will have the 2 blue print triangles added on, and that unit attached to the flying goose unit. Then 2 of those will have the white side triangles added (all one piece). Then I can assemble a center sort-of strip with the big square plus 2 goose-corner units. Then add the 2 big pieced triangles on each side. Does that make sense? Roberta in D "Melissa in NJ" schrieb im Newsbeitrag oups.com... "Good choices!

It is a nice block. I would also change some seams. In fact,
there are several Cache blocks where I'd eliminate some seams. I think Marcia has to do things a certain way to fit her format, but sometimes there are too many seams for my tastes. Even so, I like and appreciate her clever blocks and projects. PAT in VA/USA Roberta Zollner wrote: Good choices! Hope you don't mind, but I plan to re-draft the piecing to get rid of some seams.
