Project #2 - Block of the Month - Hopscotch, Part 2

I finished another 4 blocks on my Buggy Barn Hopscotch BOM quilt. I even did my first applique. Yes, I know from following some other people's work, like Karen's Baltimore Quilt, that my excitement over placing a simple five-pointed star in the middle of my block really doesn't compare, but as a seriously beginning quilter I was excited.

So, I thought I was almost done and just needed to work on some fillers. Then I read the directions for Block #10 - Goose Tracks... make 36! Uhh.. guess I better start cutting as I will be working on this for a while yet.

So a while back, I bought a complete BOM (Block of the Month) collection from Nicole at Sister's Choice Quilts. I figured it would be a good way to learn quilting patterns and have most of the complicated cutting work done for me.

There are 10 patterns and then the finishing parts to do. About every 4 - 5 days, in between other projects, I'll make a block.

Today I finished my 5th block, so I am halfway done with the block portion of the quilt. Here's a collection of the 5 I have done so far:
