Hi,

Im new to the board and this is my first BOM here (my Quilting Guild also does BOMs). I'm also a novice quilter, so I found the Housewife block to be pretty challenging. I still find small HSTs difficult to get evenly-sized. It was going together well until I got to the last stage, putting the top and bottom strip on, at which point I realised I had gone wrong with the width somewhere - oh well

I'm posting my picture anyway, so that I won't be too embarrassed to post it later, after I've seen everyone else's (with better matching points, I'm sure!)

I'm working on a sampler quilt in these colours, using the BOMs from here and from my Quilt Guild, and test blocks from any block swap I join. The bright blue batik and the pale blue blender are my main colours, and I'm also using a couple of other fabrics as accents.

Looking forward to seeing everyone else's!

Looks very good to me, I couldn't do half that well...you do have talent and I like your fabric ....good choice
:D

Lovely in batiks! You did a great job! I'm inspired!

I'm a batik fiend, so I LOVE your choice of fabrics. It looks like you've done a wonderful job on your points!

Oops, accidentally posted this on the other June BOM thread. Anyway, I did the paper pieced 'Random Orbit' pattern. It's not perfect by all means, but I like it from a distance at least.

That's really nice! I particularly like the yellow fabric in the mix. I want to learn to paper-piece someday, but I have all these quilts to finish first!

You've done a beautiful job on this block. :) Hope mine comes out just as nice. :)

Connie

Both look pretty good to me!!!!
I may have to give these a try!

Well I just couldn't decide which block I liked the best so I did both.....bothe had a lot of points to match....and both equally challenging I think...just love the out come....may not be perfect but it is what it is....:-)....enjoy....
