This week was for the temperature quilt that celebrates Heather and Pat's first year of marriage (which is intended for their 6th anniversary near the end of this year).
All the birds are connected in large panels of eight rows, except the final set, which needs me to make the key panel to finish connecting those. I also need to make the applique header to add at the top of the quilt, and then I'll put the 8 panels together. I'll address all that in a couple of weeks and have this flimsy put together by month's end. I have some fancy-pants plans for the quilting on this.
While sewing together birds and birds and birds, I needed to prep another round for my stitch-off project, Feathered Goose - and it's on the very last seam of the final set!
Oh! This weekend for BOM time, I also got the backing stitched up and the binding made for Neptune's Gift. I don't know when it will get a turn on the longarm, but these are ready to go when it does.
Speaking of Neptune's Gift, that one will be finished after one more weekend of attention on it, so I'll need the next BOM prepped. The kit I'd purchased last year (or was it 2020?) has been sitting out in the "quilt parlor" for several months, and I needed to get that room cleaned up for company coming soon. So I finished washing/ironing the fabrics for The Road Home.
After some 13 or 14 hours of careful cutting, it is all kitted into 9 bags, which I estimate will take 13 months of BOM work to produce the final top. Luckily, I hadn't purchased backing for it, because the full-BOM kit came with ridiculously generous yardage (as in 3/8 - 7/8 extra yard for every single fabric in the pattern). So I'll be making a patchwork backing of some sort to use those up.
All in all, it was a phenomenal BOM week here!

Did you work on a BOM type project this week? We'd love to see your progress!
Kate over at Katie Mae Quilts has joined me in hosting this meet-up, and linking up from either end puts you on the party at both sides.
I love your birds! They are delightful.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thank you for hosting this link-up.
ReplyDeleteYour birds are so pretty! I love the Road Home pattern, I googled it. The site I checked out didn't have kits anymore. I don't normally purchase kits but I would be for this project, love the blues!
ReplyDeleteOh, Lynette -- I just love the idea of the bird quilt as an anniversary gift! And I was excited to see that you're about to begin The Road Home because one of my clients brought that quilt to me last week and I'll be quilting it for her in a couple months. I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes together for you! My own BOMs have stalled out while I've been trying to get a better handle on realistic scheduling and managing the workload of clients' quilts that have been coming my way, so I'm also really intrigued by the way you did all of the cutting and "kitting" of this project up front.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing them! I hope you will continue to have similar posts to share with everyone.

ReplyDeleteLynette, I adore your birdie temperature blocks . I look forward to seeing how you quilt it once that it all comes together. Looking forward to seeing your next BOM project. Thank you for hosting the link party and have a wonderful week. Happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteThis allows you to increase your metabolism and burn calories at a higher rate, even when you’re not working out. When you don’t have proper fuel, or if you have super workout, your muscles use the stored form of glucose as fuel. This results in your muscles getting depleted and even some of the muscle proteins getting broken down -- the opposite of what you want for bodybuilding.
