Another day of quilty fun! Today I am hosting two talented quilters that completed the Quilt Doodle BOM 2013. It is so much fun to see the quilts, they are the same design but each one is so different based on the color choices. I love the quilts that let our quilters personalities shine. So fun!

"I decided to join Quiltdoodles' block of the month because I had seen her patterns and loved her style. After I decided to do this, I saw Rhapsody of Reds fabric by Jenni Calo and fell in love with it. I didn't have anyone that I wanted to make a quilt for or any idea of what I would do with it when it was finished but I knew that I could decide later. Now that it's finished (except for the quilting) I'm thinking that I will keep it for myself - I could use something to snuggle up in when I sit on the couch. I'm pleased with the look of all of the blocks and had a great time picking which fabrics to use. I think my favorite block is the paper pieced one - Jumping Jack Blossom. I also like the look of September's End of Summer block and of course Mama's Spools."

"I had so much fun
participating in this block of the month!
My goal when I started back in January was to complete each block within
the month it was assigned. Well, I made
it with all but 2 of the blocks.
August's block (log cabin) got delayed because of the annual shore
vacation and getting ready for school to start.
November's block got put off because I was scared to give it a try. I've never done machine applique before and I
was nervous about it, but I ended up loving it.
My husband has even requested a whole quilt made just of the Grandma's
Plate block!
My favorite block of all is
the very simple Rail Fence from March.
The first quilt I ever made was a rail fence made for my daughter when
she was 4 years old. She was terrified
of thunder storms. I had just read The
Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini and really wanted to try to
make a quilt myself, so I got a bunch of quilting books from the library. I was looking through one of the books with
my daughter and when she saw the picture of the rail fence quilt, she said that
it looked like lightning. She said that
if she had a quilt like that, she could hide under it during storms and it
would protect her. So we went to the
store so she could pick out fabrics that she liked and made her happy and I
made my first quilt. I made some
mistakes and the quilt wasn't fancy, but it worked perfectly for her,
especially during bad weather. The pink
in the new block is leftover from the back of her original quilt. I love that this new quilt has a piece of my
beginning quilting in it. This block of
the month quilt may end up in my daughter's room, too!"
