Category: Block of the Month
This is the first completed block in a Kim Diehl table runner that is made up of seven of these little guys. It took quite some time to put it together, as each of those block triangles is actually two folded corner triangle units sewn together. You do the sew and flip method with the […]
What a wonderful peaceful weekend I had! On Saturday I got three more ModaBlockheads blocks done. You will notice one of them is a remake. I ended up remaking the block on the right with a darker background. I was going to try tea dying the lighter background one, but wasn't sure if after a […]
On the left we have a 6 1/2" block. This was Block #1 in the 2017 Triangle Gatherings Sew Along. I like it a lot. The block on the right has a 4 1/2" version of Block #1, surrounded by star points. That block is 8 1/2" square. I am crazy in love with […]
Welcome to the final reveal of the Blogger Girls BOM, hosted by Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts. This beautiful design of Monique's has been such fun to work on over the past six months. Monique designed a total of six quilt blocks, one a month, starting in January. She had clever alternate color suggestions, […]
It doesn't seem possible, but month six in the Blogger Girls BOM program is here already. My two blocks did come out quite different looking, which is good. I started with the variation block (pictured on the bottom), because I was really challenged by the difficulty of making sure I cut out the right fabrics […]
I loved making these blocks. They are my favorite in the series so far! I think they came out quite different from each other, which was my plan. This project is coming together in a way that is making me super happy, and exceeding my expectations. I knew I was in for a treat, as […]
I have been experimenting a bit with some alternate ideas for my setting squares for the Blogger Girls BOM. Here is a little peek at what I am thinking of doing. Not so many Square in a Square blocks, and more of a chain design. I am also thinking of doing a diagonal set rather […]
I've been having a busy week, that's for sure. No sewing until today, and I have to tell you I am beginning to panic, I have so many deadlines! I am spending a few minutes this morning trying to organize my thoughts and get an action plan in motion. Did you know the Another Year […]
Here are my Blogger Girls BOM blocks for Month Number Four. I loved how different the two blocks turned out. Here are my other six blocks. This is a free Block of the Month program offered by Monique Dillard of Open Gate Quilts. There is still time to join and get your blocks made, twelve […]
I know I am a few days early, but I have to give you a sneak peek at this month's Blogger Girls BOM. These are just the centers of the blocks, but I wanted you to see how really different the two resulting blocks are going to be. Just by changing out some background fabrics […]
