As a quilter when I see BOM, I know that refers to the term Block of the Month. Well today I am giving it a new definition Block of the MONDAY. In an effort to finish up some of the BOM (old meaning here) UFO’s I currently have stashed in my sewing rooms. I thought if I finished one block a week and shared them with you on Monday’s I might actually finish up those tops and be able to share them with you on flimsy Friday’s once in a while.
While doing some stash rearranging last week I happened across the first of the BOM’s (old) I will be sharing. It is called Afternoon Tea, by Judy Flanagan. I found that I only had 3 months left to finish of the block piecing. I even found that I already had the blocks cut out so I only needed to complete the sewing. This is the pattern picture and the pattern page for this weeks block. I have covered the directions somewhat to protect Judy’s copyright.
I had intended to put my top together in the medalion setting shown in the top layout. Now I am considering the layout from the lower left, which would mean I would have to make some additional blocks, but hey that would just mean more to share with you all.
So here are my block #8’s. Two already have their setting triangles on them as they were already finished when I found the UFO stashed away in a tote.
This fabric for the quilt is a Moda Christmas line from several years ago, with a few from another moda northwoods line added in. No quilt of mine would be complete unless there was some type of purple in the mix. Maybe I can actually have this finished for this Christmas.
Have a great week!
