The Month of Mellow Fruitfulness is upon us ....

and to finish this years set of Blocks
we have another TWO Part Block of the Month ...

Both blocks are Illusion blocks and use techniques you've already practised,

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

Do read right through the SEPTEMBERS BOM tutorial before you start cutting!!!

So without further ado ...

Here we are at the EIGHTH month of the 2020 BOM !


SEPTEMBER's BOM


There are a minimum of 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

I'm not sure I'm speaking to you.  :faints:
I would say WTF but I'm a layyyydy.  :laughing:

Also...a challenge because the BOM clearly isn't.  :o I didn't think I had any scraps but clever hoarding old Wrenkie has a baggie full. Whether any of them are useful remains to be seen.  :S

I am not a P&Q-er, but I do like the second one (with the pink centre).  I am in absolutely no doubt that I would ever try to make it though  :laughing:

They're lovely...



(I just showed the second one to Mr Acorn and said 'Iminei wants me to make that!'  He said 'Well you must do what Iminei says!')
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I'm in, ladies! I have begun.
I'm currently sitting here with a pile of cut pieces ready for the first block.

I don't anticipate being disturbed today  -< so that's why I've started already.

@Sandra you are SUCH a teacher's pet!  :laughing:
I have half a pile of tiny pieces of all different sizes for the same shapes block. I was hoping to be inspired when I looked at them but nope!
They are beautifully ironed.  :angel:

I seem to either jump straight in, or leave it for a few days to 'think' about it.

I'm wondering which block is going to make us feel like crying. I think it's the next one isn't it? Looks a likely candidate.
Maybe it's all of them.

My problem with HSTs is the bulk at the corners. My machine just will not have it! The slightest thickness sends it off course and makes    me     mad!  :angry: There's only so much steamrollering you can do.

I'm  not even going to think about the challenge one until I've done the first two. I dont know how many scrappy bits I'll have until then. It may have to be multi coloured. :facepalm:
