BOMs Away - Yeah! Getting Ruffled Roses into the Active Mix

Welcome to my Link-Up for BOMs Away Mondays!

We'd love to see the BOM you're working on lately.
This week's link-up is at the bottom of this post.

Well, it sure is nice to have weekly BOM hosting obligations to protect the opportunity for variety in my sewing. I have been exercising tremendous will-power the past few months in sticking so long to the projects that I've been finishing up lately. It's really rather remarkable. And many days I feel like I'm truly going to vomit if I have to look at those same projects one more moment. So the half-day per week of BOM work is a welcome reprieve. 

Last week I did finish cutting out all the Month 2 blocks for Kelly's project. For the two quilts, there are 18 of these stars to put together. Didn't get that far yet.

This week I finished up and set-in the center for my Ruffled Roses quilt! This is the 2011 BOM from The Quilt Show. 

One day it will grow up to look like this:

I started this applique center in October of 2011, but it was always intended as the lowest-priority fall-back in my portable stitching bag. As of now, that quilt is officially on my active BOM work list.  :)   

Did you see that fun spray of fat quarters above my block?  Friday afternoon I got the funnest box - a giveaway from Snoodles at Lily Pad Quilting, provided by her sponsor, fabric designer Jacquelynne Steves of The Noble Wife. 

I think I will leave it there by my cutting pad to percolate some ideas. It's perfect fabric for making something to go in our new home's kitchen!
