BOMs Away - Scott's Wildlife Mini #3, Marissa's Dahlia, and the concept of ours

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.)

This was a good BOM week for me. I made the base for the third of Scott's Wildlife mini quilts that he requested. This will get trees, grass, little birds, and a mother bear with her cub after I do the background quilting. (Which has to wait until my machine gets serviced.)

I paper pieced several of the unit sets for Marissa's Dinner Plate Dahlia:

And I made my final decision on which coloration I wanted to use for the king-sized Dahlia for Scott and my bed. 

I played around in Quiltster a lot to come up with this one. The first three Dinner Plate Dahlia tops you've seen me working on were colorways that were already designed by different sponsoring shops. This one is colored to go perfectly with our room. I'll be pulling from stash and store purchases, which isn't as daunting now that I've put together two tops already and am working on the third. I'm getting pretty intimately acquainted with how things mesh together and a good idea of how the colors get affected by the others. Still, hopefully it'll come out the way I envision it!!
