BOMs Away - Red Bear & Wind in the Whiskers


Welcome to the link-up for BOMs Away Mondays!
Where we share what we're doing on a BOM-type project 
so they don't stall out in UFO-land!
(Linky at the bottom.)

I can't believe it's already time to post BOMs Away. I also can't believe how insane I am. My first "Ooo! Shiny!" for 2018 has popped up, and I've made the January red bear for Dione's 2018 Beary Colorful BOM, coordinated with Jen Shaffer's Monthly Color Challenge.

 ~*~ Linking my red bear up at Jen's January Color Linkup

I'm doing these quilt-as-you-go style. Everything came from my scraps, and yardage from stash for the backing. I'm using a light gray minky for the tummies and muzzles. Love it! I fused it the same way I do normal cotton, except for using a pressing cloth over it. Not sure exactly what size I want to cut these to, either (probably 12x15 in.), so this won't get trimmed until a few more are made.

 I also worked a lot on Wind in the Whiskers this weekend. Got these three critters made. . .

. . .and a ton of blossoms, flowers, leaves, etc., traced and cut out. The rest of the remaining 24 little frilly center pieces can wait, though. I'm sick of tiny cutting right now!  :)


How about you? Did you get any BOM work done recently?

and linking up from either end puts you on the party at both sides.

    Your red bear is adorable! I just love the fabrics. Any child will really love the minky on it too.
    You have accomplished SO SO SO MUCH this past week! Holy cow you are on a roll! You are going to get those goals/UFOs all done this year if you can keep up the pace.

    Oh my!! That was a lot of fussy cutting to finish those three guys! But they are adorable! So many challenges for the year that I am seeing in blog world. I think I am going to stick with my UFOs and BOMs though. :)

    Your Sapphire Stars just keeps getting better and better. I love how you are quilting the sections. I don't know how you get so many things done each day. I'm having trouble keeping up with your posts and I know it it takes you longer to actually do the sewing than me just to read posts. lol You won't have any UFOs for much longer at this rate.!!

    I have never done BOMs, maybe when I retire ... but I am doing this color challenge and in the meantime it has prompted me to make more blocks for future quilts.
