Category: Block of the Month
I had a few things to do yesterday, but I still got some sewing done. I needed to make the September block for the 2026 A Quilting Life BOM before the October block is released next week. I am happy to say I am keeping up with this sew-along and am also putting my leftover […]
This past weekend, I continued to work on the Designer Mystery 2025 BOM blocks. I am really pleased with how well this one came out. It was precision piecing, for sure, to make sure all those intersecting points came out the way they should. I have never made a block quite like this one and […]
These blocks are from the Fat Quarter Shop Designer Mystery Block of the Month series for 2025. I really must stop subscribing to these sew-alongs. I certainly have enjoyed some of them in the past, but the whole “mystery” aspect is starting to put me off. The patterns are without fail always good, and the […]
See, I can get some sewing done if I put my mind to it. I got all caught up with the A Quiltitng Life BOM, just in time for the September block to be released next week. I am so glad I switched gears with this sew-along and am using up my stash of Old […]
I did not get as much done over the weekend as I had hoped to, but I am just so pleased with these five revised A Quilting Life BOM blocks! I made the first one on the upper left as intended, but the second block in the center, I changed up just a bit. The […]
I’ve been sewing along with A Quilting Life’s 2026 free Block of the Month. Sherry always does nice sew-alongs, and this year’s quilt theme is star blocks. I thought that was appropriate for America’s 250th anniversary. However, the original fabric I chose isn’t patriotic, and after making a few blocks, I decided not to continue […]
I think I am coming along pretty well with my Border of the Month project. Here she is, all but the bottom border. The blocks are all made; I just need to sew them together and attach the border to the bottom of the quilt top. You can get a great idea of what the […]
We’ve had such a busy week! If you have been wondering where the heck I’ve been, all is well, it’s just been a lot going on. Sunday we attended a wine and food pairing Ryan was hosting at the winery where he is Associate Winemaker, and Monday was Eva’s birthday. Fun times, but no time […]
The Border of the Month project is coming along. This is the sew-along Corey Yoder is hosting. She has a blog, Coriander Quilts, and a YouTube channel where she talks about the fabric lines she designs for Moda, as well as her ongoing projects and tutorials. I really enjoy following her. Anyway, we started with a simple checkerboard center […]
I finished the last Riley Blake Challenge 2026 block this week. Woo hoo! I am not sure how I will set these 16 blocks, but will come up with something eventually. Right now,they are going to take a rest. These are all the blocks and I am so pleased, both with their complexity and attractiveness. […]
