RCTQ BOM 2007-2008 January's Blocks

Hi folks these months fair fly by.
Here's a new pieced block to do. I'm waiting permission to use an
applique pattern. I'm going to go look for a paperpieced pattern
now... see you soon..

And here is the paper pieced pattern.
since it's January I thought the Celtic theme would fit nicely in with
Burns night

oh my, what a beauty that block is.
a proper pressing plan, might be an idea, to ensure all those points come
together as they oughta.
gonna have to thunk on that one for a while.
Burns night? hmmmm, must be Robbie.

Thanks, Elly. I think I'm getting behind because I haven't even
decided how I want to do the December appliqué block! I've got two or
three HUG blocks to make, and a center for a Round Robin to make, and
a BOM for another group! Yikes! If I could just shake the worst of
the cold I've come down with so that I don't need tissues in both of
my hands at the same time, maybe I could get started on some of this.
Right now I mostly just want to sleep!

I've actually made that Celtic block before. I used it for a HUG. It
went together quite nicely.

did you find pressing in the right direction made a difference with those
points?

I don't remember doing anything special with the pressing. Of course
with paper piecing a lot of the pressing directions are predetermined.
When joining the separate sections together, I don't remember now what
I did!!!! I just know that I was surprised that it went together
pretty easily.

Okay, then, a DELAY is what it will be. I don't want to mess up all
the pretty fabrics with all the disgusting stuff from my cold! My
eyes are so watery I think I'd have trouble with the cutting and the
piecing at this point. I'm hoping this is a "normal" cold and that it
will get better over the period of a week, but right now it is NOT
pleasant.
