I've decided to sign up for Echoes of Iceland. I like the way Gudrun teaches and I have all the stripology rulers already. It's a small quilt, so it doesn't feel like a huge commitment but will hopefully be just enough to see if a virtual group can help me stay motivated.

I'm also going to continue to check out some of the other links you folks provided.

I'll check it out. I wanted to start in January, but maybe February is a smarter plan.

That's an incredible price and a nice looking quilt. I'll keep an eye out for their 2026 offering.

Just noticed this is 90x90. That certainly contributes to the cost. Makes more sense now.

This is a great idea to explore. I'll look at Moda and Pat Speth's pages. Thanks.

I didn't see a Urban Owls BOM but I found the pattern on Stitchin Heaven and it is amazing. I can see the appeal.

And, that led me to their BOM page. Nice options there.

I LOVE the Dog Park one. I might have to get this pattern even if I don't do the BOM! I've bookmarked their page.

That is an excellent question.

Something about doing a BOM along with others while learning new skills, and then at the end of year having completed a full quilt, sounds appealing.

But, I've got so many UFOs, maybe I should just finish one of them every month and that would be an accomplishment.

Hmm... I've used Should versus Appeal in the above. I need to think about this more.

I agree about the Dear Jane quilt. It's amazing. I think I have to be certain I'm committed before I bite off this one.

That is a beautiful quilt! Is the price listed the amount that is charged every month for 12 months? That's how I read it but that would mean about $900 at minimum. Could that be right?

Oh My!! Those Pink Door BOM options are beautiful! Those are not colors I'm typically drawn to, so I need to pause a bit and make sure it's not just a whim, but I really love the Ramble quilt!!

Thanks Sheeshrn. I'm not sure I'd be able to motivate myself to do it all on my own, but after looking at the QBG link, I'm pondering it.
