Block #11 in Blogger's BOM


Here is my 11'th block in this BOM, I am close to finish!. I think these blocks will be put together in a lap quilt, I have an idea which fabric I will use as sashing. I have really liked being a part of this BOM, and I will probably join if it will continue for another year.

The Great Granny Along

During the summer vacation I joined the Great Granny along, but since I was far away from my sewing machine I had to wait until I got home to make one. There is a link to this sew-along on my blog.
I started making my first block yesterday, but instead of cutting the squares 2.5", I cut mine 1" square. The original square was approx. 12" finished, while mine is approx. 3.5". It was interesting making this mini, and I finished it as a mug rug/coaster. The plan is to make several more in the same style.

Colors of Summer


After returning from my summer vacation, my fingers were itching to start working with quilting and stitchery again. The first project in line had to be the Aurifil BOM, because I had to finish the block before the end of the month. I think it really turned out nice, with lots of great summer colors.

New logo

DS1 helped me make a new logo/banner for my blog. I really like the make-over, and I am grateful for him doing it. I hope this will inspire me even more to create great new quilts!
Love the design!

What it the next project going to be?

For the time being I have run out of projects to work on during my vacation. I only took a few hand-sewing projects with me, and I obviously worked faster than projected. Now I'll have to wait to do more sewing until I get home. This is then the perfect timing to make good plans. My list will (most likely) include these quilts to make:

1. July block of Aurifil BOM
2. July block of Blogger's BOM
3. Great Granny Quilt Along (link on my blog)
4. Charity Quilts (from Halloween fabric)
Here I have a sneak peek of a prospective pattern:

5. Scrap Jar Stars (by A Little Bit Biased)
Scrap Jar Stars

And probably several more...

I hope you also have made good plans for future sewing!

Second mystery block completed

The first one you can find here . I'm looking forward to stitching more blocks, and finishing up this project by Christmas (hopefully).
