BOMs Away - Hijacked

                  

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)


Well, I started out sewing more birds together, since it's a week for the Love Birds project in BOM time, but my brain just couldn't dis-engage from my priority quilt of the week.



I only needed to do the last 1/3 of the outer-edge fill work to finish up the quilting on my monster super-king-sized Dinner Plate Dahlia!  

So I did that, instead, and now this baby is ALL QUILTED! (hand-guided)

And off the frame! (For GOOD!)



And now she's trimmed and ready for binding work.

But when I opened my binding drawer and found no Dinner Plate Dahlia binding waiting for its task, I remembered I had run out of the fabric I knew I'd want to use for that - but never remembered to shop for more.



After auditioning other left-overs from this project, and coordinators from my stash, I knew that I wasn't going to be happy in the end with anything but what I'd originally wanted, unless that fabric is now unobtainable.

It isn't.  :)   I found a yard of it on Etsy just now, so I'll cool my jets here, and work on other projects while I wait for delivery. It'll be soooo satisfying to bind this baby and wash it and put it on our bed!!

Did you work on a BOM type project this week? We'd love to see your progress!

  4. Have had luck searching the internet for "gotta-have-it" fabric using the info in the selvge. Sometimes a far away quilt shop has just what I am looking for. Good luck, your quilt is beautiful!
