Hooray! I'm finally caught up. I finished a block yesterday, showed it to DH and said "This is the block of the month." Then it occurred to me..... I think this was the block for July! Logged back on to the group, pulled up the last post for the BOM....sure enough - I never even printed August! Fortunately, it was an easy block and I whipped it out today!
Care to look?
Tina, I like all of your blocks, but I have to say that July is my favorite! I love those fabrics! :)
Actually Sandy, I thought the exact same thing - I think July is my favorite so far!
Thanks! Tina
You're sewing up a storm, Tina! What an exciting collection of fabrics - really evocative of the wild. . In message , Tina writes
Love the July fabric - I do go for gold and its reminiscent of African tribal robes and gold jewellery.
Then Africa print keeps the African wildlife theme started in February.
Its going to be a stunning quilt.

Stunning!! Absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much ladies - you are all such great supporters and motivators!
This RCTQ-BOM has been so much fun for me and it has been educational as well. Anyone who is new to quilting, I would highly recommend it. I had seen BOM's on quilt shops online, but I couldn't imagine why anyone would pay to participate in one.
By doing the RCTQ-BOM, it has given me a chance to learn a LOT. It kind of makes you sew blocks that you might not otherwise have chosen on your own. I am seeing, in hindsight, how fabrics go together, and don't go together, LOL. Looking back, there are a couple of blocks I would definitely do differently and with different fabric combinations than those I originally chose, etc.
It really is a lot of fun - and by choosing the colors/theme I chose - I will still use the quilt as a throw in our new Serengeti living room
- and it will be special to me because it was my first B.O.M. - it was my first RCTQ group participation project - it will be the first quilt that I have made for me/us! Oh well, I'm rambling.....
So anyway, thank you with all my heart Melissa for setting this up - I hope RCTQ will do another one sometime after this one is over! And thank you to all you wonderful RCTQ'ers who encourage, support, motivate and teach each other. I am always grateful for you wonderful people!
Hugs, Tina
Well said Tina. I couldn't agree more.
Dee in Oz who still has to catch up
Great minds.... ;)
Agreeing with many others. All of your blocks are fabulous. July, however, is outstanding!
