BOMs Away - From the Heart

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!

I finished piecing Devon's Dinner Plate Dahlia, but I'm going to save that for a future time to share.

Tonight, after many weeks, I pulled out the final applique block for my From the Heart BOM and worked on wings while we finished the latest season of Stranger Things:

I haven't done any of my evening handstitching since May. I've been burying my empty-nest blues in pointless phone games during the shows. I was finally finished with having nothing to show for my sit-down time, so it was nice to get back into this work again!

P.S. - We have two openings in the next weeks for someone to host TGIFF on their blog. If you have a finish coming up (project completely finished, or a big stage finished, such as a complicated top or demanding set of blocks), this would be a fun way for you to share it and to have a day where people link up on your blog.
**You do not have to own a link-up subscription, as we managers can provide code for you to use.

Don't you love it when you finally break through all the meticulous foundation work to the point where things start coming together "quickly"?!

This week I started the assembly process on Devon's Dinner Plate Dahlia. It's not actually a quick job, being all precise curved piecing, but it's so very satisfying!

I got this far, stacked in sets of 4:

It's kind of fun to me to work backward, contructing a quilt from the outer border to the center instead of assembling a center and adding the borders. I may just have this quilt top finished for next week's BOM!

BOMs Away - Petals and Spears and a Tip

This week's BOM harvest - 

24 petals paper pieced and 12 curved-9-patch spears:

And a tip for curved piecing that is glue prepped: Keep Sewer's Aid and a speck of felt-like cotton batting on hand so you can swip it down the needle between units. Works wonders at preventing skipped stitches. Also great when stitching/quilting through layers of fusible webbing.

How about you? Have you done work on your BOMs lately?

BOMs Away - More Dahlia pieces

Most of this weekend was "lost" to trimming overgrown chokeberry shrubs and cutting down dead trees (we've lost a bunch of Aspens to some strange tree disease that there's no treatment for  - very sad). 

But I did get these sets of pieces put together for Devon's Dahlia quilt:

There are only two more sets of paper piecing left!

Are you guys ready to share some BOM work since you've had two weeks of waiting?!
