Blogger's BOM

May-30-BOM-1

Here's the May block for the Blogger's Block of the Month. I did once simple change in the corner blocks and got two completely different blocks. I like them both! This block design comes courtesy of Cathy at Cabbage Quilts.

May-30-BOM-2

Here are all of the blocks together so far. I think I'm really going to like this quilt a lot!

Here's the final layout that I'm going with.

May-30-BOM-3

I've gotten the inside sahsing and the print pieces of the border cut. Next month I'll cut the rest of the white. I'll be ready to start doing some sewing in July. This one is going to go on one of the guest house twin beds. I think it will make a very welcoming bed.

Check out Jackie's blog and the links on the sidebar for the previous months blocks and be sure to visit all of the other block designers.

Blogger's BOM

I'm a little late with my blocks this month. I had them done last week but didn't get them posted before I left. 

May-1-BOM-1

The host for this month is Amy at Mrs. Schmenkman Quilts. Isn't that a nice block? The look of the block changes completely with different placement of the background fabric. The blue corner fabric in the top block is from a piece of feedsack that Stephanie sent me. It's a beautiful print and I will not waste a thread of it.

I've been pondering layouts a lot and I have settled on something like this design. I wanted a twin sized quilt so it will fit one of the guest house beds and I wanted it to be fairly simple. I am totally settled on the block layout and I love this border idea. I worked up several others that also looked great but they each would have taken a lot of hours so I stepped down to this.

May-1-BOM-2

I still have to work out some issues with the border but once I have it settled I will share the pattern with you but since I am settled on the setting I have gotten my sashing and corner stones all cut out and ready to go.

Here's my version. This is a great block for having variety in the effect. You can get some dramatically different blocks with various color placements.

Blogger's BOM

It's time for a new installment of the Blogger's BOM block. This month's block is designed by Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter.

Feb-28-bom-1

Here's my version. I love this block! It might be my favorite so far and it was easy to construct.

Here are all of my blocks together. You might notice that I fixed my hideous block from last month by replacing the green with white. It's much better now!

Blogger's BOM and Design Wall Monday

I don't have a lot for Design Wall Monday today but I do have the latest installment of the Blogger's Block of the Month on my wall.

Jan-30-dwm-1It's not my best work for sure. I like the one on the left but I'm not so fond of the one on the right. I may replace those triangle edges with solid white. Ignoring how mine look, it's a very cool block designed by John at QuiltDad.com.  

Jan-30-dwm-2

Here are all of my blocks together. I was originally going to use white for the side triangles but knew that I would be sashing the blocks in white and thought that might be too much.  But I think those green pieces have got to go. This is the 5th block in the series and you can find all of the information about the project at Canton Village Quilt Works.

While I noodle that, go to Judy's blog and check out what everyone else is doing this fine Monday.
