BOMs Away - Swan Song


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.)

Wow! What a productive week.

All the remaining section sets for Marissa's Dahlia were finished:


2/3 of the border sections for our king-sized Dahlia were finished:


And, this weekend I got the first three swan blocks sewn together:


Those three swans took SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS of work!
I do really love them, though. And I'm glad I don't have to give them attention again until October. . . heh!

It's official, also - I greatly prefer paper piecing to the multi-layered stitch-and-flip technique in these patterns. It's easier to be perfectly accurate, and also uses significantly less fabric.

Now your turn: How are your BOMs doing lately?

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.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

  1. You did have a productive week! Can't wait to see dahlia all sewn together. Those swans are so graceful. I also prefer the accuracy of paperpiecing. PP can be challenging to catch onto but once you do, there's no turning back. Have a wonderful week of stitching!
