BOMs Away - Harmony & Birds

    

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!

Wasn't feeling my greatest this weekend, but I did get three more colors of birds stitched down:

Also, all the bird bodies are finally fused, and I started on the wings, which mark the high temps of each day. 4 rows down, 27 to go. . . 

The lower left corner of my wall board is blaringly empty now, because I started on the Month 8 Octave work, which is to incorporate all the blocks into borders that will go around the central star.

The pattern has you use over-sized setting triangles, so I need to trim some ends before pinning the next connections.

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

August! ~

My One Monthly Goal for August is to finish the puff stitches for the silk binding on this very cool autumn lap quilt, and do a label for it. 

It's been sitting at this point for several months, so let's get it wrapped up and into use for September!  :)

The Rest of the Story:

The August UFO drawn by APQ is #10. 

My piecing #10 is my Sue Garman "And to All a Good Night" project.  

Great timing! I'm close to being finished with the top applique panel. 

I've pulled fabrics from my stash for the scrappy piecing of the main field in the quilt. I'm king-sizing the pattern to fit our bed. Hopefully it'll emerge the way my mind's eye sees it. Our room is blue and we put up a snow-flocked tree with blue accents in the bow window, so I wanted to incorporate blues and grays with a Christmas feel, but keep the green and red stars.

My longarming #10 is my Allietare from the Bonnie Hunter mystery of winter 2015-16. I finished the flimsy in a timely manner, but it's sat forever in my longarming closet. 

I do have to finish a lot of remaining work on this GINORMOUS king-sized Dinner Plate Dahlia (also for our bed) before I load Allietare. . . which gives me time to scare up a backing for that cheddar and turquoise beauty!

And that is more than enough work for one month! Let's see how much I accomplish.  :)

The next packet arrived yesterday for Neptune's Gift, so I went to work on that:

Almost finished the Month 6 sewing.  I need to join the two halves, and it's all done.

Edit:

 > Boom! < 

16 arc portions became 8 larger arc units:

(More compass points to come in future months. . . )

Month 6 all finished. I'm really enjoying this BOM approach - it's very fun to add to the whole each time, versus making different blocks month to month.

I also stitched down another 4 colors of bird bodies:

I have right around 1/2 of them stitched now.
