Craftsy Catch Up

For weeks now I have been promising myself that I would tackle some of the longstanding WIP's on my list. Needless to say I have done nothing about it! However, this has now changed! I would like to say that it was all down to a rush of enthusiasm but I think in all honesty that it was down to procrastination on working on the two quilts I hoped to have finished for the

she can quilt.

So I brushed the dust off my Craftsy BOM quilt blocks and pulled out my instructions for the August blocks! The theme for August was stars and after a quick refresher the two blocks looked like this.

Craftsy Catch up August 1

The first was this simple star and the second



Craftsy August 2

A star in a star!

So another two blocks nearer to the end of this BOM. September's blocks are based on the Drunkard's Path pattern so my sewing table has some of these waiting for me to work on them.

Pinned curves

These are so not my favourite thing to work on!

Still the pile of completed blocks is getting bigger and better.

  7. Fiona i think i am more behind on the Craftsy BOM 2012 than you. But i have seen some beautiful FMQ on some of the quilts lately so i may pull it back out and get some more done. Good on you for persevering.

  8. My FAL list is looking a tad dismal on the finish front but hey, anything we don't get done this time can move to next quarter, right? ;o)

  13. You certainly have an armfull of WIP's. Love the star blocks with the selection of fabric that you choose. Good luck in the Drunkard Path blocks. I honestly hated working with those blocks myself. Took me quite a few tries and alot of ramblings under my breath to get them finished. Can't wait to see them.
