July's BOM - Churn Dash +
« on: July 01, 2020, 10:32:19 AM »
We have entered Part 2 of the Catastrophe that is 2020

and again we have a TWO Part Block of the Month ...

Both blocks use techniques you have already learnt,

Remember, for the eager beavers amongst us, that all these blocks need to be  layered and quilted ready to assemble in the Autumn.

Tutorials for the various techniques are available in The Darkside Tutorial thread

Do read right through the JULY's BOM before you start!!!

So without further ado ...

here we are at the SIXTH BOM of the 2020!

JULY's BOM


There will be Twelve 12" blocks for this years BOM:
Some months you will have two blocks to make and some only one.

In October I will guide you through layering and quilting your blocks
and in November I will take you through  assembling them, using a QAYG method,
into a fabulous lap or cot sized quilt (or even a series of comfy cushions.)

And everyone who finishes the year with a completed quilt (or full series of cushions)
will receive an exclusive The Sewing Place Prize Winners Badge or Sew on Patch

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]      [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

  I have chosen a monochrome theme with pops of colour for my quilt,
you may choose whatever colourway/theme you like ...
Brights, plains, patterns, pastels, neutrals ... the choice is yours!

As ever when you click on the link, select the first picture,
and click on the i icon to bring up the destructions
on the right side of your screen.

Do read through The Basic Basics Thread before you start.

Please post pics of your blocks each month and by the end of the year we will have a fantastic album for the archives

It looks great - thanks for all your hard work @Iminei . 0_0  It also looks like I might be able to use up some of the smaller pieces of fabric I have left, so all good. :)

Sewing away on the dakside quilt  and thinking about what to do next I have decied to leave the quilt ready for borders and move onto the BOM.
I'm using bright colours for that and what can go wrong?

Or put the right side of one piece to the wrong side of another.   (I do this at least once in every project.)

Concentrating on the Think Pink challenge. :) Will be coming back to do the BOM's as soon as I've finished that. Good to have more than one sewing project needing my attention. :loveit:

I accidentally started working on my cow-pat strips.  :[ I was only looking for thread....  8)
The jacob's ladder looks nice but the churn dash I'm going to disguise as something else using the sum of it's parts.  0_0

I've just caught up with Feb and March, haven't got as far as the little 6 inch blocks but I may do that tomorrow, then onto July. I really like the Jacob's ladder, but never actually made one, so looking forward to that. Then I must think about quilting some of the blocks. Onward and upward!

Just occured to me that I need to look at quillting. I sorted out the backing fabric yesterday and just hope I have enough, So it's down to practusing and trying different quilting patterns
I don't have a clue about FMQ, not even sure i can drop the feed thing.
That's what it is all  about though - lernin'

I can't contemplate QAYG until I get my Pfaff back because I need the IDT device (Pfaff equivalent to walking foot). I could try FMQ on the Bernina as I can drop the feed dogs and I have a darning foot but I feel I need to find out a bit more about how to do it and do lots of practice before deciding if I can make a decent stab at it for this project.

July BOM- the perfect activity for an afternoon of non stop torrential summer rain! :D

Here are my 2 blocks. Any more  rain and I’ll need to get on with my pink project   :sew:
