Dresden Plate QAL

 So I have joined a couple QALs, among them is the Bunny Hill Scrappy Plate Club...see bunnyhillblog.com for the information and Flickr link if you are interested.  It utilizes the Easy Dresden template by Darlene Zimmerman and we are making 10 1/2" plates.  I am using a feedsack / 30's stash I have collected for many years.  The pic above is my first plate...of 12...or maybe 30...these are going together really easy and they are sooo cute.  My son is reading The Hobbit right now and it makes me think of Gollum and his ring, trying real hard not to stroke this ring...er, plate and mention my preciousssss.  Pretty though, eh?

Another BOM I am signed up for is the free one through Craftsy.com.  January's blocks are Asterisk Block and Wonky Pound Sign Block.  The videos are well done so far and the blocks easy and fun.  I have done both before, still need to decide what fabrics I want to use...may use my stashed back Terrain and Central Park by Kate Spain.  I have a Layer Cake as part of the stash though and the first two blocks start with a 12" square so I may have to heavily substitute with some solid yardage...

I am also stalking Jenny of elefantz.com  and her 2012 10 month BOM called Promises and Borders.  Like. Like.Like. Go to http://www.elefantz.com/2012/01/new-free-bom-quilt-pattern-for-2012-and.html to find the patterns.
