March BOM Updates

I have been trying to keep up with my BOM's and getting my Star quilt quilted. At the rate I am going, the Star will be finished by Christmas. So far I have one star quilted and 6 of the surrounding hexagons. This is the first block of a BOM I am doing with my favorite quilt shop, Leah's Fabric Gallery. My good friends Joy and Karene are also doing this project. Wouldn't you know, we all came out with different blocks. Karene is the winner of doing hers the right way. Joy and I are just rebels I guess. (or we can't read directions) LOL
Here is part of the second month of my "Stars Around The Garden" BOM. I screwed up the other block so badly that I had to order more fabric. That will teach me to never cut a block after sitting on the freeway for 2hrs on a Friday night.

Here are the March BOM's for the Wildflower Sampler.









Here is the "Out Of Darkness" BOM. I really like how this is turning out. I cut the white version and plan on making that next weekend.




Here is the Fantasy Flowers BOM for March. This was SEW MUCH FUN to make!!!






Here is the Be Attitudes BOM for March. I still have to give the ant some eyes and place the button on top of the cupcake.

Out of The Darkness & A New Beginning.

I couldn't decide what color to do this quilt so I did them both. I still need to attach 1/4" bias stems here and there and I think I found the perfect product. As soon as I get them in the mail I will attempt to attach. I think I will undo seams to get them in there perfectly.







Picture of the black finished. I hope mine looks half as nice.






Midnight Garden

This is a BOM I started in January. I just love doing the blanket stitch dance.
Here is a pic of what it should look like in a year.




Wildflower Sampler







Yes, another BOM I started in February. You do 2 blocks a month with the final 2 months being the inside applique and appliqued borders. I must learn needle turn fast!

Stars Around The Garden BOM

Here is a picture of what the quilt will look like.









Here is another BOM I started in February. You actually do 2 blocks a month on this one. I am hoping to learn to do needle turn applique by the time I get the center panel in the mail.








Be Attitudes BOM

January's Block

February's Block



This is one of many BOM's I am doing this year. I still have to put on faces and buttons but those will have to wait until I have the whole top completed.

Progress


Here is a picture of the progress I have made with my Dear Jane quilt. I made my February blocks and triangle.
