Fan Faire BOM Update
I have been busy working on a very special art quilt so I got behind on our Guild’s Fan Faire Quilt-a-long. I spent the weekend cutting and piecing and now I am all caught up and waiting for our new blocks in January

2015 BOM
This quilt took a long time to finish. The 12 multi-coloured blocks were made as part of QuiltEssential Co’s 2015 block of the month program. This colour way was called ‘Bridges of Madison County”.
I knew how I was going to design the quilt top long before the 12 blocks were even finished. My inspiration for the quilting came from some of the designs in the 12 blocks. I wish I had kept track of how long it took me to do the longarm work because it was substantial. I am really happy with the finished product.

I like using pieced backings on my quilts. I think it makes for a more attractive back that gives you the option to flip it over so you have two quilts in one.

I’ve got all 12 blocks completed from QuiltEssentialCo’s 2015 BOM program. They just made their selection of coordinating fabrics available, so yesterday I went and got my yardage to complete my quilt. I’ve come up with an on-point design that should finish at about 102″ x 102″.
I’m still chugging along with the 365 Block Challenge. Life got in the way and I got behind by almost two weeks. I’ve spent the last 3 days working hard to catch up. Here are my week 9 blocks which includes the big 18″ centre medallian block. By the end of the month we should be able to start assembling the centre section of the quilt.

I’ve got several works in progress this month. First, I’ve got my September and October blocks done for QuiltEssential Co’s 2015 Block of the month. Two more blocks to go and then I have to come up with a quilt top design to incorporate the 12 blocks.
I’ve been playing with layouts for my HST gift quilt:
And I’ve made a bunch of blocks for my Leftovers VI quilt. I still have no idea how I am going to lay them out

I was great at keeping up to date with Quiltessentials BOM (block of the month) program until June and then I lost the handle. We are a week away from picking up August’s fabric bundle so I got my act together today and completed June and July.

Little black dress lap quilt is almost done…I am just hand sewing on the binding.
My scrumptious lap quilt has been quilted and trimmed. I just have to attach the binding and then hand sew it on the back.
I’ve made no progress on Leftovers V.
