The problem with working on the 2025 Guild BOM blocks is that I can't show them till the guild sees them. Most of what I've been working on in the sewing room is getting those blocks finished so quilt assembly can be started. There's been good progress on that front, but it doesn't leave me much to post about on Monday. I do keep 2 Wild and Goosey blocks going while I'm stitching other things. I've also added back working on bits and pieces of Old Town.
Twenty of the 25 blocks are finished. Excuse the color on this photo, I used my I-Phone which normally works pretty well, but it really messed up the teal in the blocks. It's much brighter than what shows here.
The pieces for the sashing strips have been cut and I've started stitching those.
The color of the teal fabric is much closer to reality in this photo. I've made good progress on these, but I still have the better part of 3/4 of them yet to make. But I'll take whatever progress I can get. The goal is to get this to finished quilt top before this year's mystery gets started. That may or may not happen, hopefully I'll at least get close.
Linking up with Patchwork & Quilts plus Sew and Tell Monday.

That teal print is really beautiful. Old Town is looking good. I've been working on our guild challenge project - and can't show that either, until after the quilt show.
Wonderful colorway for Old Town. When I got the blocks to the stae you show I thought that the design would be quite nice as it was, but I pushed on to make the secondary block. Good luck with your BOM. It's hard to keep secrets!
the teal is so pretty! Old town is looking good! and of course I am sure we would love the BOM blocks in *secret* haha!! enjoy getting that all together!
that is a pretty quilt in the gold/red/green
Your Old Town blocks are so pretty! I look forward to seeing your guild BOM quilt all together.
The teal print really looks so lovely with the yellows and reds. You are a master at using colors, Kate. Have a fabulous day. Hugs.
I know how hard it can be to be working on secret sewing projects! I'm glad you have had time to work on other things other than the Guild BOM and it's great to see all your blocks and progress together here!
Old Town is looking great! Just 5 more blocks to go!
Feels like Fall :-) Love the teal print. May I recommend Diagonal Seam Tape for snowballing corners? I understand the whole keep it secret bit. In our case it is the fabrics. Can't show them till they are in stores or shortly before. Ambassadors have shown the blocks in B/W as a way to get around :-)
Amazing that you are 3/4 done with Wild & Goosey. I still love that teal print, and I can't find it anywhere - and that's a good thing!
It's frustrating to not be allowed to show what you sewed this week, well at least we can be amazed by Old Town! Pretty blocks, and this teal fabric is beautiful. Have fun finishing the sashings and blocks. Thank you for sharing your work in progress and linking up.
