BOMs Away - Fiesta Mexico

 

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! Still fighting Covid, so I'm getting plenty of TV time and hand stitching done.

Block 5 for my Fiesta Mexico is finished. I think it must be a corn motif. 
It's about 13" square.

Want a reminder of what this quilt looks like?
It's a Karen Kay Buckley pattern.

So far, I have these blocks appliqued:

And now I'm happily into a cute turtles block for Octopuses Garden. These long-term hand projects make me lose my mojo if I try making myself stick with only the one, so I alternate them. Works nicely at keeping the interest fresh.

If I don't have a Covid "dip" day tomorrow, I will actually try some long arming for 30 minutes after lunch. I put my partially quilted Halloween UFO quilt on the frame at the beginning of October, but rapid-advance cancer, a funeral, and Covid stole the entire month from longarming time, so it sits there untouched. I don't want to take it off again until it's finished, so I'm going to start putting in tiny bits of time each day until it is. Hopefully I'll get some of my energy back in time to do enough work to finish that quilt and finish the piecing and quilting of Marissa's graduation quilt on time for that mile marker in December.  :)

Have you been able to do any BOM type work lately? We'd love to see it.  :)

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.
