Keeping Busy

I've started so many new BOMs that I have to keep them all written down so I can keep track of them all.

In my last post I shared a photo of my Cheddarback blocks for the month.  Now I will share 4 more BOMs.

1.  Quilt Doodles.  These blocks are 20".



I'm making my blocks scrappy looking using different reds and whites or off whites.


2.  Pat Sloan's Out West.


I bought a FQ bundle for this.  I liked the dark blue so much that I purchased some yardage of it to use for the border and binding.


3.  Barbara Brackman's Yankee Notions.


I am using the same background in all my blocks.  I am really loving the grays and tan fabrics.


4.  Minick and Simpson's Derby House.


For this BOM I receive the patterns and fabrics each month.  I absolutely love the fabrics.


I have a finish to show you.


This is a 2016 Sugar Block club BOM.  I've shown pictures of the quilt top that I finished last year.  Well I got it sandwiched and machine quilted using my free motion foot.  Then I sewed on the binding.  While doing this I noticed how bad the quilting was....I mean really bad.  So what I ended up doing is taking out the machine stitching one block at a time and then hand quilting the block using gray #12 Perle cotton.  I really like how it turned out.


Here is a close up.


I have so many UFO's and tops that need quilting.  I'm slowly working on them.  I have chosen my next UFO to work on.  It is a quilt inspired by the Fat Quarter Shop's Patchwork Quilt Along.  There are 12 different blocks but I have chosen to only use 3.


I plan on doing a row of each different pattern.  You might remember that I started working on this as a wedding quilt for my Grandson.  They didn't want brown.  So I made a different quilt for them.  The quilt will be 8 blocks by 9 blocks.  3 rows of each block.  The blocks are 5" finished, the sashing is cut 1 1/2" and finish at 1", and I have made corners stones out of the blues.


I want to thank you for stopping by.  I hope you found something you like.

Hugs, Cathy
