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!
(Linky at the bottom.)

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. :)

  1. That is so frustrating. That's why I very seldom order stuff on line, I've heard too many complaints. Hope you can find good substitute fabrics. Happy Stitching!
