40 Shades of Grey. The last time we did this we didn't have any idea of the finished quilt which was a bit daunting, but it turned out ok in the end. This time around we do have a picture of the finished quilt......
It uses a variety of techniques and is very colourful, with blocks set on point, and has lots of different fabrics, along with assorted greys to pull it altogether.
I must admit the MO fabric decisions fascinate me! I am curious to see how they actually decide what will go with what. And how they use colour to create movement/texture/interest is really wonderful.........so I signed up for another BOM to learn more!!!!!
The first package arrived in the mail last week.
Doing a BOM together does have a few benefits - we have a wee "unspoken" competition between us as to who gets their block done first! and it's proven to be a great incentive for actually doing the month's work!!!!! and we can trouble shoot any tricky bits together!!!!
I guess too you'll be wanting an update of my charity quilt?
Well, it's all pieced, pressed & pinned, and ready for some machine quilting.
Ok so I *looked* at my stack of fabrics for the charity quilt tonight, but that's as far as it went - I'm so impressed with your speed!
ReplyDeleteThat stack of fabrics is gorgeous! What does the first block look like?
ReplyDeleteOh and I meant to say- great work in the charity quilt - pieced already, wow!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vintage vibe on the charity quilt. I have cut the fabric for mine, but it will be a while before I have time to piece it.
ReplyDeleteSpeedy!
