Block of the Month

I am considering this for a Block Of the Month starting in October.  What do you think?  Would you be in for making a queen-size quilt with these intricate small blocks? Is it absolutely on your bucket list? Or would it be at the very bottom of your wish list?  If you were going to do a BOM, what would you really want to do? 
My Marcus Fabrics sales rep is coming in for a visit next week, so I'd really love to get some input and insight on this topic.  Come on, I know you have an opinion!

If you've never considered participating in a Block of the Month, here are some very good reasons to think about it:
  • The project is broken down into smaller, more attainable goals, so you'll enjoy a feeling of accomplishment each month.
  • Pay-as-you-go pricing, so you can more easily budget for a major creative project.
  • You'll enjoy the camaraderie of those with similar quilting interests.
  • You can avoid the stress of last-minute marathon sessions at your machine.
  • It's another fun excuse to visit your favorite quilt shop (One Stitch, Two Stitch of course) on a regular basis!
  • Many BOM quilts are designed with a variety of block styles, so you can master different ones and expand your overall quilting knowledge.
  • By working gradually, you'll be able to control the usual sewing room clutter when working on a project all at once.  Blocks & cut pieces can be stored in clean pizza boxes, plastic zipper bags, or other methods.
  • The month-to-month pace of the project allows you to immerse yourself in each section and focus on it differently than you would when you make an entire quilt at once.
  • The chances of ending up with yet another UFO are lessened because you can see your progress - a BOM quilt project has a beginning, a middle and foreseeable end!
