This past week I finished my January instructions on my Garden Party Down Under BOM 2022 with The Quilt Show. Waiting for February to continue the journey. I paper pieces the dog ears and they fit on the center perfectly.
This left me with nothing going on in the sewing room to work on, at least nothing I wanted to. So I spied a fun little idea on the internet and decided to give it a try in-between other projects.I am using polka dot fabrics as much as possible in this. So have done a good deal of crawling through my fabric stash. Finding a good stack of charm blocks at the bottom of a drawer has proved valuable with this project. The piece on the bottom will actually end up being a tea pot. I have to get a good deal more stems into it before adding the spout and handle and fusing it down. This is the pieced border that goes around the center. Six inch finished blocks. And this is the second borders. I am short of the 20 I need. I have exhausted my stash for prints, so looks like a shopping trip is in order. These are cut 6 by 9 inches. I am thinking about appliquéing scalloped pieces on top of them between them and the first border. Still not sure yet on that issue. I am winging this from a picture, so not sure where it is going until I get there.
loving that bom....am sorely tempted here....and such pretty fabrics in all your projects, very bright and colorful!
