BOMs Away - Forever My Valentine

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!

Fourth-weekends of each month are for Forever My Valentine. I like this project - its black background is so different from everything else I have going right now. :)  

Not much time for quilt work this weekend, but I did get a decent start on Block 4:

I love the interwoven hearts on this one. It'll be one of my favorites.  :)

~*~*~*~

Hope you're all doing well! It's getting full into that busy time of year.

But have you managed work on a BOM-type project lately?

BOMs Away - Goin' Surfin' Again

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!

Hi! This week was open since I finished the Nutcrackers quilt top, but instead of pulling a new BOM project for the 3rd week of each month, I wanted to work some more on my Surfer's Point stars from last week.

So I worked on all the feather-point patches today - four of each set, ready for star assembly next time I pull this one out.

I thought I'd made all the HST's for these two stars, but I was wrong. They need 32 each, not 24. And that brought me to a frustration point with the kitting of this one. I got it from Craftsy 18-24 months ago, so it's too late now to go to them about the shortage of fabrics that exists. Don't you hate that??  I bet the cutter for the kit(s) made the same mistake I did when I was cutting all the stars' pieces out in September.

There's probably just barely enough of the colors to do the remaining HSTs for the other 12 stars in the set, but there's definitely not going to be enough of the background fabrics. 5 feathering backgrounds were split among the 16 stars, so right now I'm pilfering from later stars for these early ones. At some point I'm going to have go buy some fat quarters of creams that play nice with what's here. Kinda took the wind out of my sails for today's piecing, so I wasn't motivated to finish the work on these. I'll have my full MoJo back next time, though. :)

It was the week for working on Surfer's Point, but we had such a gorgeous weekend (mid-60s) between snow stints, that I wasn't feeling several hours at a machine.

I did make all the HST's, so those are ready to go for the next two big feathered stars.  :)

Did you work on you BOMs this week?

Sorry about disappearing on you last week! I started a new activity and got submerged in that. Reading for LibriVox can be just as addictive as quilting~!

I've been using their app for the past 18 months or so - it's great for finding free audibooks to listen to while quilting, piecing, weeding, washing dishes, yadda-yadda.

I thought I'd give back a little after using it for free so much, so I've started doing that.

I'm back into my regular routines now, and I made three more swans to add to my Elizabeth Hartman "Swan Island" set:

I'm really going to love this quilt!

~*~*~*~

So what did I miss? What BOM work have you pushed along?
