I have managed to keep up with the 365 quilt challenge. I’ve got my first 21 blocks of the year done:

My Quilts of Valour WIP is on the longarm getting ditched while I decide how I want to quilt it.

And finally, I have all the blocks pieced on my baby quilt so I am in the process of sewing the blocks together. I haven’t decided if I am going to add any borders.

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

FAL #2

I have my second FAL for the 3rd quarter (this is my original list). It is my little black dress lap quilt. It was a gift for someone that I have worked with for a long time. Unfortunately I was so rushed to get it to her before she went on vacation that I forgot to take pictures of the finished quilt. Here is what it looked like before I had the final borders on:

The recipient was kind enough to share a few pictures.

Even though it is very time consuming, I’m enjoying FMQ Leftovers V. Here is a sneak peak:

I’ve been off work for almost a week so I’ve managed to fit in quite a bit of quilting time. First off, I’ve piece the August BOM:

I’ve also managed to make a few dozen log cabin blocks for “Leftovers V”. This block has been on my bucket list for a while now. Log cabins can be used to make so many interesting designs. I like the way the blocks are coming together and I hope to the have the quilt top finished by the end of the month. Still mulling around ideas on how I want to quilt it.

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.

2015 July BOM

2015 June BOM

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.

Lately I haven’t been quilting as much and I’ve been really bad at posting updates. A new puppy and life is taking up much of my time. I hope that things will begin to settle down a bit and give me more relaxing/down time for quilting.

I have completed the March and April blocks for the 2015 QuiltEssential Block-of-the-Month program.

I’ve also made a little progress on my “Little Black Dress” lap quilt. I just have to figure out how I want to finish it.

On Sunday, QuiltEssential Co had their annual Block-of-the-Month quilt show. I had a real shock when I walked in the door and saw my quilt hanging there with a 1st Place ribbon on it. I was so surprised that I forgot to take a picture of it. I have this old picture. You can read more about this quilt here.
