My quilt guild BOM quilt.

Hi Everyone,

I designed the scrappy sampler quilt especially for the Limestone Quilters Guild.

We are doing this quilt as this years BOM.

It's more like a several blocks per month endeavor. LOL!

But, I've had really good feedback from people who are planning to make this quilt.

It's my first time doing a pattern for others, so it's been a bit nerve wracking.

We had our first BOM Sew Day yesterday.

We were nine ladies all together.

I gave demonstrations on how to use the rulers to make the blocks and how to put the blocks together.

We talked about fabric and color selection, fabric placement and value.

I gave tips on getting an accurate 1/4 inch seam allowance. 

It was interesting to share my perspective on sewing a scrappy quilt.

It was fun to share with the ladies and they were very encouraging. Phew! I made it through. 

Because I'm doing these demonstrations, I'm making more blocks.

I don't really want to make this quilt again.

So, I'm going to use my blocks to make table runners.

These are the blocks I demo'd yesterday.

My plan is to make a few more of these blocks to make the table runner.

I've already starting cutting for a few more blocks.

It shouldn't take me long to make them.

My Scrappy Sampler quilt is done!!

Hi everyone, 

I have another finished quilt to share with you. 

It's my Scrappy Sampler quilt.

I'm really happy with this quilt. 

This is my original design. I used all fabrics from my stash for the front and the binding.

The backing fabric is a wide backing that I purchased at a local quilt store. 

I quilted it on my Janome 1600p-db sewing machine with an all over swirl design. 

This quilt is a large twin size finishing at 76"x92". 

I'm excited to have it done and to be able to catch-up on some other projects that I've started. 

I hope you like it!!

My Scrappy Sampler Quilt is a flimsy!

I'm so glad to finally share this finished quilt top. Considering I designed this in March of this year and I have a top done is pretty good for me. I have about 20 quilt designs that I've never made into quilts yet. 

This quilt is bigger than I have thought it would be. I really like the size. I love big quilts. It's definitely a bed quilt and will make a great twin size quilt with lots of overhang for today's thick mattresses. 

Here's a photo that I took in the morning with more daylight. 

 

I've been working night shifts this week. I don't work nights very often as I'm usually able to find someone to switch with. But not this week. It a lot more effort for me to get it done, since I was so tired. I was in a time crunch to finish this for Wednesday's guild meeting. I'm introducing this quilt as next years BOM. I won't have it quilted by Wednesday, but that's okay. 

I hope you like it. 

I've put in a lot of hours on this one, from making the design to writing instructions. Wow it's a lot of work!

I'm really loving how it looks.
