Thank you so much for playing along with me this year! I have enjoyed it and I hope you have too. 

This month we’re putting it together and finishing it! I know a lot of you have worked ahead on the piecing and some have also finished. That’s awesome! I’ve loved seeing them come together. 

For the front- 

For those of you who haven’t finished, this is your month! The layout above is how I put mine together. Of course, there is no right or wrong way to put the blocks together. 

1. Piece Section 1 blocks.

2. Piece Section 2 blocks.

3. Piece Section 1 to Section 2. 

4. Piece Section 3 blocks.

5. Piece Section 1_2 to Section 3.

6. Piece Section 4 blocks. I did this in the three horizontal rows. 

7. Piece Section 1_2_3 to Section 4. 

8. Piece Section 5 blocks. 

9. Piece Section 1_2_3_4 to Section 5. 

10. Piece Section 6 blocks. I did this in the three horizontal rows.

11. Piece Section 1_2_3_4_5 to Section 6. 

And for the back- 

Remember how I mentioned to hold on to your extra pieces in the months we had extra pieces? Well, I had a BUNCH of scraps from testing each block. Hopefully you don’t have nearly as many extra blocks as I did! The front has no improv… You know I love improv… So, my challenge to you is to improv your scraps and left over fabrics to make a back that is totally different from the front! 

Of course, you don’t have to. You can use one wide back piece of fabric if you want to! 

I went full on improv on the back and pieced tons of scraps. I didn’t use all of my scraps, but the back is only made with scraps and extra fabric from the front. I do still have a few leftovers! 

Just like all your other quilts, once the front and back are done, quilt it however you want to and the binding as you typically do. And you're done! Another SMQG BOM is complete! (now I just need to quilt the previous two years of SMQG BOM’s I have ready to be quilted!) 

Thank you!!!!

My quilt was quilted by SMQG Member Jana Royal, Reverie Quilting.
