These blocks from a worldwide blogger block exchange had been languishing in the drawer since 2006. They were finally made into a top last fall, and finished today. I love reading the familiar names from all around the world!
These blocks have been waiting since 2003, when I participated in at monthly $5 block. I paid $5 for the first kit, and as long as I brought a finished block each month I got the next month's block for free. The blocks themselves seemed quite colorless when I finished them, so I brightened them up considerably by choosing yellows, golds, purples, greens, and reds when making the flying geese sashing. I disliked the blocks themselves, but love the resulting quilt.It felt great to cross off one of my January goals!

I like them both but the brown one is my favorite
What a great start for 2009!
O, look you got your siggies done! I have mine into a top but haven't gotten it quilted yet. Good going!
You are really off to a good start for 2009! A real inspiration to the rest of us!

Isn't it interesting how BOM blocks frequently aren't inspiring but make a great quilt? I have had that twice with $5 quilts.
Well done on your finishes.
I also have a siggie quilt I should have finished.
Great finishes! I remember when the signature blocks were being made - what fun *s*
Patti, I'm one of the siggies on your quilt!! How funny to know that we are now friends!!!
I love your signature blocks! Both quilts are so lovely, what a wonderful start for your new year.
