BOMs are MIA!

I haven't been linking up to the BOMs Away Mondays.  

In fact, it has been an entire month (I checked!)

And, I blame it all on soccer season! (Soccer is getting the blame for a lot of things that aren't getting done!)

I currently have 3 BOM-ish projects right now.

The first is Morgan's Sampler, which currently has 6 completed blocks. 

Hhhmmmm! That actually means that I am 2 blocks ahead!  I don't feel so neglectful now.

The second is my Sow Along with Randy.  I have been trying to get caught up on that but haven't made any progress since last week when I got multiple blocks cut and bagged.

 Well, I did manage to get 2 sets sewn. 

The third is my true BOM.  It's Craftsy's Block of the Month.  I have my hexies basted for the first block...and I bought some more background fabric.  Other than that, I haven't done much with them.

I haven't even bothered to take a new picture!  I'll try and fix that.

What I am working (like crazy) on is the T Shirt Quilt!  But, I'm stumped!  I will be tipping the blocks and squaring them to 16 1/2", but these are the colors (and some arrangements) that I am working on.

PLEASE! Leave me a comment with your suggestions for the color layout! 

Upside-down, but you can see the border fabric

Layout Option 1

Layout Option 2

Layout Option 3

Layout Option 4

This is where I always seem to get stuck...I tend to create a pattern.  Random is difficult for me.  I would love to get your opinion!  I only have 1 or 2 pictures with the inner border (red) and the outer border (multi-floral).  The color suggestions from Darren's cousin were to use blue & orange.  I did my best and I really like the color combinations.  I hope she does too!

Thanks so much for your help!

WIP Wednesday 4/18/2012

I will be linking up with Freshly Pieced for today's WIP Wednesday. 

I'm trying desperately to get back on track with my blogging. 

Today I will be cutting all of my Sow A Long blocks...I am Sow far behind right now...but we are going to fix that today!

I did manage to FINISH the Fun & Done!  

Updates on my other WIPs:


Morgan's Sampler (No Progress)

Kristi's T shirt Quilt (Progress!)  I have all of the shirts stabilized and cut into oddly sized squares.  Now to start shopping for fabric to put it all together. 

Kerrington's Quilt (Progress!)  The 4square blocks are pieced and trimmed.  The alternating 5" squares are cut.  And the first 5 rows are stitched. 

Craftsy BOM (minimal progress) I have the paper hexies cut out and about half of them basted.  They are in a small travel box that goes everywhere with me.  I also need a trip to the quilt shop for more background fabric.  *Happy! Happy!*  Love shopping for my Kansas Troubles stash!

Cinnamon & Nutmeg (No Progress)

Bags (3) (No Progress) Still trying to get the final finishing stitches in.

Table Runner-a hand quilting project (No Progress)  But I have been thinking about it a lot!
( I was going to put up a picture, but it appears that my computer has the protective pseudo-card stuck.  The last time this happened it took me a while to get it un-stuck.  Hopefully I can get it removed by tomorrow...)

Jelly Roll Jive-a hand quilting quilt-sized project (No Progress)

Pinwheels in my Garden (No Progress)

Guild Placemats (Not started)

Connecting Threads Perfect Points Class (did the first lesson...but then nothing)

FPPFTT (Progress!)  Finished the first lesson.  Printed the templates for the second lesson.

Scrappy Plates (No Progress) I do have all of my supplies, though.


I've got to get busy if I'm going to make any kind of progress on those Sow A Long blocks!


Have a good one!

BOMs Away 4/9/12

It's Monday!

I'm linking up with Lynn over at What a Hoot!;  I haven't been able to do much work on my quilts now that soccer season has started, but I hope to get organized today so that I have some projects that can travel with me.

The only project that has seen any productive activity is the Craftsy Block of the Month. 

I have all of my hand work in a little box and it has been to at least 4 practices so far.

I even have a few that are basted.  

This is my first time working with Hexies.  

I kinda like 'em!

Today's plan is to finally finish the Fun & Done!  

The younger kids are at Gram & Paps and the Hubby is home so all I have to do is get the kitchen table cleaned off and get busy!

Have a good one!
