Keeping track of finishes, here are my completed BOM blocks for quilt guild for the past couple months. My attendance at guild has been spotty (Saturdays are hard), so I have more of a backlog of blocks owed than just these two...
First up: Crowning Glory, directions available from Quilter's Cache. Thought I was very clever to use TWO Y2K/millennium fabrics (the black and the white) from my stash with the purple solid here. Wish I could say I used them up--but nah, not happening.
Next: Balkan Puzzle, again find directions at Quilter's Cache. I really like the strong on-point square in this block, but it almost didn't show up: turns out that color placement really makes a difference here. I originally had the orange and lighter maroon fabrics swapped. Not the same block at all. (Sorry I didn't take a picture, you'll have to trust me.)
I miss the regularity of BOM. Guess I could just try and keep up, whether or not I go to guild that month, right?
Do you have a block-making schedule?
I really like the purple with black combination. The black has enough white so there is a subtle contrast that make me linger longer. The visual effect is great. Yes, I have Y2K fabrics still in my stash too.
