Oops, meant the above block was for Boom 19, not 18.

There are going to be alot of great projects going on. As a new quilter I love all of the pictures so I can get a better feel of how fabrics come together. As a weaver I am used to figuring out colors, patterns, and textures but fabrics come together a bit differently, but it is so fascinating to figure out the puzzle:-)

Between last night and this morning, I finished the August blocks for the 2017 Quilting Bee and I am planning to start on the latest wall hanging. Here are the blocks:

Here is the next wall hanging all laid out, time to bring it together:

So far I have prepared a backing so I can pass it along to the LAQ - this is a first time for me as I usually do my own quilting but I wanted this one to be a little special :)
And last night I was handsewing the binding on a table topper and will finish it up tonight. Next up is cutting the pieces for some signature swap blocks. Feeling productive!

Great blocks, tsc... love that interlocking one.

Can't wait to see your wall hanging all put together. I see you are a lover of blue!

Trying to finish this cross stitch for a new grandson due in November.

Lovely blocks, tscweaves. Can't wait to see your wall hanging all together.

Taughtby Grandma, that's a really cute baby quilt.

thanks for the nice comments everyone. I'm taking a short break, got most of the quilting done, now need to do some detail quilting, then embellishments. Meanwhile, I'm working on a UFO that's been hanging around for several years now.

Macybaby- Neat quilt on your long arm. I like the use of different designs in each block. And, how in the world are you managing to do that JN project without paper piecing???? I'm in awe....

I like that block Sewbiz-- the fabrics look cool and refreshing, nice to come back inside from the heat and see them.

TCweaves- interesting blocks, are they from a BOM here on the board? I've enjoyed doing BOMs in the past, every time I participated in one I learned something new. That bargello is looking good--something else that's on my bucket list to try someday

copycat- will the rickrack be stitched down, or are they put in like tabs to give the baby something to play with---either way, fun baby quilt

taught by Grandma- that is a cute baby quilt.

Nice work, everyone!
This the beginning of a new project....I'll mix them up once I have them all done.

Rob - The blocks are from the "New Quilting Bee" here on this board. I had been lurking for a while, following each month and decided to jump in. I am a very new quilter, finished my first quilted piece May 1st of this year. I thought that a BOM would be a good way to get my feet wet, my skills are not to the point of doing a swap. I am amazed at what I have learned and how my block have improved and everyone has really been so helpful when I have had questions. Quilting is like weaving, there is a seperate language to learn:-)

As for the bargello, I did one the last VQW as a wall hanging for my home and it was fun, it is just coincidence that this VQW and me starting another one is happening at the same time.
