Design Wall Monday

Here's my progress on my Tamara's 2009 BOM. This is the lower right corner. I am almost finished but I had to dye more fabric yesterday afternoon. I ran out of yellow, pink and light green for the sashing. I would have finished without those colors but then this whole corner would have been orange, teal and blue only. Not very random, which is the look I am going for.

Here are all the blocks finished. I remade one block that was too dark and subsituted another for a block I didn't like. I'm working on some fancy sashing using the leftovers. This fabric I hand dyed a couple of years ago and was waiting for an inspirational project to use it.

I am finally caught up on my block of the month. First shown is April's Brasstown Star. The pattern can be found here.

Second is May's Morning Star 2. The pattern can be found here.

And last, June's Amish Star. The pattern can be found here.

I'm glad to be caught up. Other projects have been keeping me busy and I'll blog about them as soon as I can.

Tamara's 2009 Block of the Month

Here's the March block, Sawtooth Star. The instructions can be found here http://www.quilterscache.com/S/SawToothStarBlock.html

This is what I was working on this weekend:

Several months ago a fellow guild member gave me a bag of green fabric and said "do anything you want with it.". I was inspired to make a green quilt. I'll be using a pattern called Tillie's Treasures from Nickel Quilts. I pinned up all the squares to see if any really clashed before I started sewing. There are two or three I may remove but overall I'm happy. I'm trying to not repeat any green and I think I can do it. I'll be using white with mossy dots for the backround, also from the bag. There were also some large cuts I can use for the backing, 1.5 to 2 yards each. I spent all day Sunday washing, ironing and cutting fabric for this project and I still have the backround squares to cut.

Tamara's 2009 Block of the Month

This is the first installment of Tamara's BOM for 2009. She started with December 2008 so we would have 13 at the end. This is called Christmas Star and it's from Marcia Hohn's Quilter's Cache website. http://www.quilterscache.com/C/ChristmasStarBlock.html
























Here's January 2009, Twisting Star, from the same website.
