I participated in a block of the month quilt from Material Obsession
http://www.materialobsession.typepad.com a shop in Australia. I am obsessed/fascinated with their fabrics, color combinations and Kathy's blog is one of the best. Anyway I got a package each month from Australia. Usually there were plastic templates included and a different block instruction. You could pick "pretty" fabrics or "contemporary". Mine were pretty. Well it was sometimes a challenge. Lots of small pieces, curves, circles to applique but I love it. It is very far from my usual in color and in pattern. I took it off the quilting machine this week and here it is. I did a lot of whimsical quilting on this one. I didn't want traditional. I added a border to mine because of the bias edges. Love it! Now to finish the binding.
