Block of the Month and Quilt Along Update

August 8, 2012 by persimondreams Leave a Comment

Hi everyone!  I can’t believe how fast this summer has gone!  We’ve gotten both of our older daughter’s teacher assignments and I went ‘Back to School’ clothes shopping for them on Monday.  I can’t believe that TWO of them will be in school this year!  Even though things are a bit crazy around here I’ve still been plugging away at my Block of the Months and Quilt Alongs.  Here’s what I’ve accomplished since the last update:

Now let’s take a look at the newest Quilt Along that I’ve started participating in –

the

Free Spirit & Rowan Christmas in July Block-a-thon Update

In previous posts I showed you:

  • Block 1 –  ‘Tinsel from Fiberosity’ but already since then – three more block designs have come out!
    Block 2 – ‘Through the Window’ from Pat Sloan
    Block 3 – Wrap it Up from Melanie Dramatic
    Block 4 – from Pam Kitty Morning

    Now let’s take a look at the new blocks I’ve created since then…

    Christmas in July Block 5 from Kelsey Creates

    And since these blocks are all different sizes my typical mosaic maker isn’t going to work to show off this quilt…you’ll have to do with semi-fuzzy pictures from my design wall of my progress. I’m five blocks behind the tutorials posted…that will soon by 7 I’m sure but I’m going to keep working at it!  I’m really liking how eclectic this is turning out…
    See how other’s are turning out by checking out the flickr group:

  • 2012 8-inch Sampler Quilt from all different Quilt Along’s, Block’s of the Months, and my Own Ideas! – 58 blocks made!

    8 inch block mosaic part 1 8 inch sampler mosaic part 2

    I have two of every block made for the Blogger’s BOM!  As usual, I’m anxiously awaiting the 25th so I can see what the next block is.

    I haven’t done any more blocks for the Crumb Along….but I haven’t given up on them (I LOVE them)

    I still only have the sole Mariner’s Compass Block done from the aid of Chris Lynn Kirsch’s class and her new self-published book, Compass Capers.

    Can you find the two ‘Spinning Nine’ Blocks I made for my quilt?

    I finished the 10 blocks from the New York Beauty Quilt Along! I was definitely getting the hang of these by the end BUT I definitely think I’m going to keep at just 1 each for this quilt – but boy – do I LOVE them!

    58 blocks so far…and still counting (I put two in twice to fill up the mosaic…)!  Hmm…I wonder how big this is going to get?

    I am ‘tweaking’ the ‘Beginner’s Quilt Along’ that’s starting up at the Quilting Gallery to make the 12” block designs work in my 8-inch sampler.

    You can see what everyone else’s blocks look like:

    • Fabric Fascination Block of the Month Update

      Fabric Fascination BOM - January thru July

      Sometime’s BOM’s are nice to just have the fabric all sent already precut for you – and that’s exactly what I’m doing with FabricFascination’s.   I have August’s block somewhere in my craft room…I just need to find out where it is…I’ll post as soon as I find and it and put it together!  Sorry about the delay!

    Craftsy Block of the Month Update

    14 blocks from the Craftsy BOM - in LOVE!

    14 blocks are complete for the Craftsy Block of the Month!  Star blocks are up for August!  I have the tutorials printed but I have yet to piece them.  Which means – there will definitely be anotherupdate  post soon!

    And here’s the Craftsy Block of the Month Flickr Group if you want to see what others’ looks like:

    http://www.flickr.com/groups/craftsyblockofthemonth/

    And that’s all for this edition of the BOM and QAL update!

    Which one that I’m doing that you like best?  Are you working on a great quilt along that I need to join in on?
