I've been stitching a few flying geese with every BOM block I've been making. Normally the previous year's mystery becomes my leader and ender project, but in an effort to empty my blue scrap bins, I've been working on the Sensational Summer Scrap quilt (Kevin the Quilter) as my leaders and ender project for most of the year.
The scrappy center is now all sewn together and the borders are now in the works. This is the only project up on my design wall currently. It's been fun to finally see this project start coming together after months of making the four patches.
I'm not planning to start anything new for a couple of months. I really should get back to quilting Kate's Choice, but the guild BOM takes precedence. I'll need to do a better job of keeping up as life will be busy in July. One lesson I've learned is it's wise to work ahead on the guild BOM. I've already started on plans for next year's. It will be a sampler, which means a written block pattern each month. Best if I get on jump on that this year.
Linking up with the usual suspects for Monday: Design Wall Monday and Patchwork & Quilts.
How many "Bonnie" quilts are you working on?
ReplyDeleteSmart to already be planning for next year's guild BOM! It's fun to see the Sensational Summer Scrap quilt starting to come together.
ReplyDeleteYou have so much more restraint than me if you can hold off that long starting a new project. All those blues are so pretty and then that pop of yellow. Wow!!
ReplyDeleteThose colors for Old Town are so pretty - kind of a fall feel to them! I loved Kevin's summer mystery back when he did it - wish I would have participated in it. I'm enjoying following along with your progress!
ReplyDeleteI love your Sensational Summer scrap quilt. Sometimes you just have to attack a certain color.
ReplyDeleteOh- I'm glad to see another Kevin the Quilter Summer Scrap quilt! I have made dozens of these blocks and put them away. You inspire me to get them out again.
ReplyDeleteYour blue scrappy blocks are so pretty. Makes me feel guilty about my blue scrap bin that is literally busting open and begging to be used!
ReplyDeleteUnless one has taken the time to sit down and write out clear instructions with diagrams for a quilt, understanding the immense amount of time involved just isn't appreciated. I can understand starting early for the BOM! You have lots of projects to 'pick away at', which is a great way to build a quilt imho! Love the blue and yellow project - makes me think that a placemat would be great using up some of my never-ending 2.5" squares...
ReplyDeleteYour flying geese are lovely, pretty colors! The Sensational Summer Scrap quilt looks fabulous too, a great project to highlight pretty blue scraps!
