Block #8 of Leah Day's Mystery BOM
 

Block #8 is done and decided to relax, it will turn out as good as I can do. Like how it looks. Will never be a pro but at least I am improving.

It is a wonderful block & I think you done fantastic on the quilting. Much better than what I could do. Keep up the good work.

Very impressive.

nicely done

Never say never! You're doing great!

Peg, it looks like you're getting the hang of it... Your block looks great. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful!!!

I love your quilting. Very well done. Looks like a pro.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Look at your improvement when comparing with your first quilt/or block. I have been trying not to look too closely at each motif or block that I do, but the overall effect. You are correct, sometimes it is as good as it gets, for the skill set you have now. That doesn't mean you won't continue to grow with each attempt. I love it. At least this online class has given you the baby steps and confidence to even try. Some will never try. Learning is a process. (off of soap box LOL)

That looks really good! I've been following along (watching, not doing) and yours looks wonderful!!!

Looks good. I'd say that you are getting the hang of it. I don't do much machine quilting.

WOW Peg, you have done a fantastic job. Am sending you an e-mail. Sorry I have been out of touch but I am so busy now that I have retired, I don't know when I found time to work. Luv U

I think it looks nice!

Thanks for the great comments, I appreciate them.

Really like your block. Quilting is terrific.

Looks super to me. BrendaK

Very pretty! your quilting really makes it special, Peg! I'm enjoying seeing your progress!

Your quilting looks great! Keep up the good work.

The less you struggle, the easier the flow will get.

It looks great, you did a fantastic job on t he quilting.

nice job!!!

Peg I just discovered Leah's MBOM last week and went ahead and bought all 8 block patterns. So far I've chosen the fabrics and prepped them, now I'm going to cut the fabrics for all the blocks and put them into separate zip lock bags. I plan on making all the blocks first and then start on the fmqing. Any advice you may want to share would be appreciated. I'll be a beginner as far as the fmqing goes but I've made a quilt or two in my day. This 8th block of yours is great and the quilting looks awesome!

I think your block, piecing and quilting look great! I like Leah Day's approach to FMQ and have learned so much from following her.

I think you did an awesome job. You are too hard on yourself.

Improving? I'd thought you are a pro already!

Very nice! I wish I could get the courage to do more than stitch in the ditch, crosshatch, and a serpentine like stitch. Learning to use my darning/embroidery foot was on my summer to-do list. I better get going!

Better than I could do! Looks fine!

I think your block is beautifully done. The piecing & the quilting. Leah is a good teacher in my opinion & has such good videos to guide you. Great job!

You did a fine job with this. I especially like the sun.

Great job!

I Love this block. The sun in the middle really sets it off. Great job.

Great job...Love that block....

Great job and quilting!

It looks pretty good to me. Job well done.
