March's BOM - Courthouse steps
« on: March 01, 2020, 09:08:27 AM »
Well here we are at the Second BOM of the 2020!

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

  [ 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!

For our second month I have chosen a close cousin to the first, the log cabin block.
We are still working with strips and squares
but its all good practice to get you used to cutting and squaring up

MARCH

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 at the end of the year I will compose an album for the archives

 :angel: is still there @Lowena - she's just shuffled along to the right to make room for the party smileys.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I thought this month would be easier as I have the fabric but now I have to make a decision about which colours to use.  :S  I see some colouring in in my future.   :)

I love the minis though.

Usual crappy picture quality but here's mine. Didn't realise either that it didn't include all the colours and nearly put two more on! Moron's right!  0_0  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Youre not keen on Courthouse Steps @Lowena, well its not my favourite block either ....

but peeps have to learn to walk before they can run and have fun with HST's and the like ....

Also I spied this Fabulous cushion cover which is courthouse steps with clever colour placement

Yes @wrenkins I'm glad I made the blocks after all....it wouldn't do to fall at the first hurdle  :D
I'm not sure why I'm making 2 per month  -<
