Quilt BOM

I'm thinking that the free "Snowbound" block of the month pattern from Bunny Hill Designs would make a cute little winter quilt for the grand-daughter or maybe just one to have at Gram's house.

A new pattern is available each month for 12 months. The BOM free pattern last year was also very cute "A Tisket A Tasket." That pattern is now available for sale on their website.

I haven't tried to piece on of their appliques so don't have any insight to share at this point.

Time to do some quilting

In the ensuing four years since I last posted, I have worked on a wide variety of piecing projects - some of which have made their way into actually pieced quilt tops - none unfortunately who have made their way into finished quilts.

Last fall my granddaughter put together her first quilt top and was so disappointed when her mother told her that it wasn't finished yet that she still have to add the batting and backing, quilt it and add binding.

Of course, she has never seen her Gram do this with any of her quilts! While I do laugh about this, I did realize that I had not set a very good example.

My focus for July will be to finish up the quilt tops that have been pieced; to finish up the in-process piecing of quilt tops so they can be finished; and organize fabrics and patterns into project packs. Well, that might be too much to accomplish in July but at least I have a goal to do someting.
