Wednesday- Show and Tell

My sewing machine has been BUZZING!  Both the Bernina at home and the Janome at Thread and Bolts. I know it isn't a RACE ti finish my Block of the Month but if you click the link, you'll see I'm far from winning.  I'm loving the "U-Taupia" Quilt in these Purple colors. Lynn almost has me talked into making it too.  Maybe just the sashing idea on some of my sets of orphan blocks, lol

Here's some Progress Pictures for my Wednesday posting. First my "The Romance Continues" BOM-
"Engagement Party"
 On Tuesday I made the Block (above) and a few of the Alternate full and half-Blocks.  I'm ready to sew on the sashings and cornerstones onto each block and watch this quilt grow. I'm really loving making 12" Blocks this year! I'm half done with the main blocks, not counting the one with pink that is in process of being sewn again with the correct fabrics.

Next up- EASY STREET aka: "Busy Street"


The center of this quilt is finally together. I saw that one of my Blogging WASIQ buddies- Judy D was sewing on her Easy Street yesterday.  I had to take some time-out to watch Bonnie Hunter on Quilt Cam.  Not to be outdone, I sewed until mine was together (into the weee hours). Now I get to choose some border fabrics and I'm thinking I'll use up some of the 'spare' parts for a pieced border too.
Last but not least my SAL from Temecula Quilt Co.
This one needs one more fabric for the top and bottom borders.  I like the stripe that I fussy-cut for the side borders.  WHEW and this is just Wednesday...

  2. I'm loving your BOM, Mary. Coming right along!
    Congrats on getting Busy Street together (is that what you are naming it, or were you just being funny?). I only have 6 blocks made. : (
    Good job on Temecula's SAL. Are you using a different fabric for the top and bottom borders, or cutting more of the stripe?
    I just put the borders on mine last night. You'll be seeing it soon.
