I'm a little late but I am now caught up on my Blogger's BOM blocks.
Here's the block for July. It was designed by Pam Kitty Morning. This is the 10th block of 13 but it's not too late to start your own version. You can get all of the information about it here.
I have also finally settled on a layout. I know I said that last month but I just could not wrap my head around the odd sized inner borders to get that pieced border to work out right. I changed the pieced border from a 4" block to a 3" block and oriented the bar diagonally and I like this much better. I also narrowed the sashing and cornerstones which will require me to trim all of those pieces that I have already cut! It will be worth it because I like this much better and I will have lots of room to quilt some feathers.
This quilt should finish to 64" x 82" and will fit one of the beds in the guest house. (I'm keeping this one!) I don't have directions but if you like this layout for your quilt and you have EQ, you can download the EQ file here.
I set aside one afternoon and evening to work on this. It took me a couple of hours to settle on the layout before I could start piecing some of the border blocks. I like how this is going to look!
When I packed everything away for next month I wrote some notes to myself so I will know where to pick up. My goal will be to complete the border blocks next month and the sashing in September so that I can put it all together when we get the last block in October.
OOh, I like those zigzaggy blocks - they'd be a nice way to use up scraps...

This is going to be super duper! I'm beyond behind making my blocks now.

I would love to have a quick pattern for the zig-zag blocks you are using for the border. I really like those.
