Odds and ends

I've been catching up on BOMs and swaps.


 This is a little top called Charlotte - from the Book 3 Times Charmed. I used up some blue charms.


 Star of Hope  - made for Dawnelle - November block for Block Swap Adventure.  She asked for southwestern batiks, with the outside being dark and the inside being light.



 Simply Woven blocks - the November blocks for Alison - Stash Bee



 October Block for Sugar Block Club - Lucky Star



October Blocks for the Sisters 10 BOM.  The one on the left incorporates the label made specifically for this BOM.

I've been doing some piecing on a couple of scrappy quilt tops, and since those are finished (photos after I add borders), I decided to get caught up on the BOMs I've been participating in. I like making the individual blocks and deciding what colors and designs to use.

March 3 update

I've been busy!  Here are some March BOM blocks I've made the past couple of days:
Quilt Doodle Designs BOM - February

Rail Fence - Quilt Doodle Designs BOM - March
Forget Me Not - Sugar Block Club BOM - March

Ninja Star - Lucky Stars BOM - March - 12"


Ninja Star - Lucky Stars BOM - March - 6"


I decided I didn't like the colors I was using for the 12" blocks in the Lucky Stars BOM - I'd been using random scraps on a cream background.  I picked up a nice FQ bundle at Eleanor Burns' store a couple of weeks ago, and they are bright, cheery colors. I re-did the January and February blocks (below) and am making sure there is always at least one fabric in common from month to month.

Exploding Star - Lucky Stars BOM - February - 12"

Funky Star - Lucky Stars BOM - January - 12"/

2013 BOMs - January Blocks

I've started 3 BOMs (so far) for 2013.

Amy of Stitchery Dickory Dock is having one called the Sugar Block Club. Each month we get a block pattern AND a recipe for a delicious treat. The January block is called Snow Blossom. This will be my first quilt using all solids.

January - Sugar Block Club



Anne Marie of Gen X Quilters is hosting a BOM called the Sisters' 10 Modern Block of the Month Club.  Each month for 10 months we're making 2 blocks, and they're going to be finished in a unique setting.  I decided this would be the perfect quilt for my Kaffe Fassett fabric!

January - Sisters' 10

Elizabeth on Don't Call Me Betsy calls her BOM the Lucky Stars BOM.  It's all paper-piecing, and can be done in either 9" or 12" (or both).  I think I'll do both!

January - Lucky Stars
