BOMs AWAY Monday #5

Welcome to my Link-Up for BOMs Away Mondays! 

(We'd love to see the BOM you're working on lately.)

Got another Beachwalk block done - my May allotment:

Did the local guild BOM in quadruplet this time around (1 to turn in for the drawing, 1 for the guild's Quilts of Valor project, 1 for my own 2011 guild quilt, and 1 for the Valor Bee for the May Fourth Week offering):

And finished this month's allotment for the weirdly named "Selvages" project - two of these blocks:

And now, it's your turn!  Show us the BOM you're working on lately, and check out what the others are doing!   

Too Much :)

Too Much Boo Kitty in the box for me to pack my sister's quilt this afternoon. . . 

so I did my Too Much math instead.   :)

P.S. I am not doing this math a 3rd time when Marissa graduates!  ;D   Hooray for tutorials, because I will be relying on mine at that time.

My WIP Wednesday #11

Dev's What a Hoot is almost there! 


After a mutual audition session wherein she chose the border and ribbon colors she wants, 

I got the inner grid and the first borders put together:

(This is hanging folded over in half.)

It was so funny - I worked a bit crazily to get the inner grid together before she got home that night from a date, thinking she'd be all excited. After a little looking, she says with a hurt-feelinged voice, "but how come mine don't get eyeballs??"  ROFL. I got a sheepish grin and "oh, yeah!" when I reminded her that the buttons get sewn on as the very last thing after quilting and even binding are finished. And furthermore, that she had helped me choose the buttons she wants for the eyes at the last button sale!  lolol


Now to make the triple ribboning with the Celtic corners. A bit of a headache, really. Why, oh whyyyy did I not take notes last year when I figured Heather's out??  Definitely doing that this time around, with pics for a tutorial, so I can do Marissa's much more easily in a few years when it's her turn.  :D

Thank you to Lee at Freshly Pieced for hosting WIP Wednesdays - it really keeps me motivated to keep those UFOs going! (Go check out what everyone else is doing.)
