I tried the 6 inch PP block in pink and the 8 inch with HST's. Since these blocks I plan to make with my stash, I'm happy with the 8 inch square but really need to not use regular printer paper for my piecing.
I know there is a separate thread for the pictures but thought they might be nice here also.
Is anyone trying to challenge themselves with the BOM??? Last year I did the Abyquilts BOM in only blue and black to use up my stash of blue. This year it's going to be all smaller blocks I think, nothing over 8 inch finished.

It will be a challenge for me, that's for sure. I'm a "short attention span" quilter. 
right now, my challenge is picking a block for February. does anybody have a recommendation?

I realized why my two blocks look different. When I marked the paper with the color placement, since Generations didn't label the blocks well. I marked them looking at the sewing side, and PP is 180 out. Not a big deal, I will use it anyways in the scrappy top I am planing.

January Block of the Month
Well I tried my hand at the paper piecing, which I had never done before. I made a huge mistake by cutting all the fabric wrong, but I just went to a smaller pattern. Then I remade it traditional and a bigger block.
