BOMs Away - All those Birds, and more Harmony

     

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)


Whew!

I stitched down the final colors for the bird bodies. Never got a low temp higher than 65 degrees that year - how can you not love a climate where every night cools down wonderfully, even after a high of 104?


And then I worked my way back down the colors for the remaining late-fall packets that hadn't been fused before I did those colors:

And that's all 730 bird bodies stitched!!

I have about half of the wings fused down. There's a total of 31 packets to do, 14 are fused. It takes about an hour to set and fuse two packets. Really not sure if I can have this quilt finished in time for Christmas, as I have some fancy-pants quilting in mind for it, with still a ton of stitching and construction work to do before I even get to the quilting . . . but I'll try!

And then I was sick to death of love birds, so I dabbled a bit more with my Harmony project, so that I have all four set-in borders sewn together. As usual, Scott needed my cutting table for work over the weekend, so these haven't been trimmed up yet. Not sure if I prefer using over-size setting triangles and fussing with the trimming afterward, or just using true-size setting pieces to start with. . .

Have you worked on any BOM type projects recently? We'd love to see your progress!

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!

    I just love your Love Birds Temperature quilt blocks. What a fun and clever block for a temperature quilt. How nice to have those cool nights. Harmony is looking amazing. I so appreciate you sharing and hosting the link party.Have a great week, Lynette.
