Portland Modern Quilt Guild BOM 2013 - "Finished"

I finally got around to finishing the block of the month for last year.  The last two blocks were a rough finish...

I did NOT do the curved seams (after 8, I kid you not, 8 attempts...thank God for applique)

 
And I miscut half of the pieces for the last block...3 hours later...

So I got the blocks laid out...
 

I decided to make the blocks 16.5" inches, so the quilt would be a little bigger.  Originally, I chose a Michael Miller Hearse print as my border, but after I got the block assembled, the hearse fabric was just "meh." 

So I opted for cheesy monster movies!






 Now it's off to Frances for quilting, and it'll sit in the binding pile until I feel like binding it.  Probably in gray.  Another one bites the dust! (except for binding...)

    Good job! You may just be the first finish for PMQG.

      Thank you Ann Marie! One of my goals this year was to finish more old projects, so I wanted to get this one done before it too became a UFO... I haven't even begun to think of this year's PMQG BOM though.

    I have the medallion center finished for 2014, but realized yesterday that I only have eleven of the 2013 BOM's. Somehow, I missed one, but I do have a layout in mind ~~ sort of... after I get that last block made.

      The center of the new one is really stumping me. I haven't given it too much serious thought, but I like the idea of the Dresden plate...I just have NO idea what fabrics to use. Too many options lol. That last block was sneaky! Hopefully you're only missing one fo the quick and easy ones and you'll be on to the layout in no time!
