Sentimental Journey BOM Quilt Exchange 2019

Howdy all my quilty friends, I am years into this new craft I have undertaken to learn. We have moved 3 times sine I started blogging and opened and closed a brewpub. So I have time to finally unpack and focus on challenges that I started years ago and want to pursue more now. That is if the IRS doesnt lock me up for back Sax Taxes. No worries I am on a payment plan. OK here it is last year I asked my BF Tina if she would like to do a BOM with me and then exchange the quilts when completed at the end. Now I live in Southern Illinois the absolute very bottom of the state and Tine lives in Colorado up high in the mountains so it is not likely we will be having sewing bees anytime soon. But, we have been friends since 3rd grade or maybe it was fifth. Tina and I have shared the ups and downs of growing up and all the glory that goes with it. Both of us have very busy lives in our respected cities and with family. So as a form of support and long distance therapy I suggested we do this project. I offered a BOM quilt I liked but Tina found one that she liked better. To understand I tend to go for more modern styles and Tina is a bit more traditional. We needed a quilt that was challenging but not too difficult as to be demotivating. We agreed on her choice of "Sentimental Journey" BlockCentral.com BOM for 2010. So I have printed the fabric chart, fabric requirement list, cutting chart that will allow you to cut the whole block of the month quilt at once, and the printable coloring page for this quilt. Also all 12 installments which is the individual blocks for each month. I do not want to do the colors in the instructions prefering to go with colors that I know are Tina's favorites Yellow and Blue. I made cards for each fabric and the amount needed of each. I then put all my print outs and notes in June Tailor's Quilter's Planner/Organizer.
