Tuesday Randomness. . .

Reading my Google Blog Reader and realizing, the next Frosty Flakes will be out TODAY!  Yikes, so need to finish the center embroidery on my own block - I had problems with it, but I'll figure it out and post tomorrow.

I spent Sunday evening going through two of my block of months programs I started over 4 years ago.  I mentioned how I don't have a lot of me time right now, so I'm working on my BOMs and thought this should includ my previous UFO ones as well.  Unfortunately, I remember why I didn't finished them - but time to put those feelings of fear away and get down to work.  It's wasting fabric just sitting in pieces in a bag.

First oldest BOM is called Out of the Darkness/A New Beginning - Pieced Baltimore Album pattern by Pam Bono.  I started this late 2006!!  Ugh, this monster is such a challenge.  Each 18" block has at least 250 pieces in it (a few have over 300 pieces).  Cutting alone for each block takes 4-5 hours.  Though as I look back at the 5 blocks I have finished, I realized I'm a much better piecer now and use different accurate methods, so it shouldn't be as challenging as it was before - though it will still take a lot of time.  I have cut out the pieces for block 6 & 7 and started sewing them.  My original thought was this owuld be my autumn bed quilt and most likely it will remain that way....granted it won't be ready til next autumn - - maybe  :)

Next oldest BOM is called Stars Around the Garden started the summer of 2007.  What's funny about this one is that I have already done it.  I purchased this monthly kit from a shop in Canada and showed it to my boss and ended up teaching it at Patches.  So, I never worked on the kits I got in the mail, just on the shop's sample.  Now it's time for me to do my own and it actually excited me!  I have ALL the fabric including the border for this one.

I have lots to entertain myself, now just need to get down to work!
