Two BOM quilts at a time is very doable. Quilters do it all the time because, well, working on one project makes us want to start ANOTHER project. That’s how we’re built.
During month 6 Dutch Summer BOM blocks, our Make Modern Triangles members took on another BOM in between: Alchemy.
A WHOPPING TWO QUILTS AT A TIME
This month’s slideshow is a whopper and a half with Alchemy in the mix! And you will see 7 different block of the month quilts in progress. Seven! If you can’t even wait, hop on down to the end and watch the show (don’t miss this one).
I’m not totally surprised at how they have jumped into Alchemy because they said THEY CANNOT WAIT for the next month’s BOM block drop. Waiting is hard, I get it.
To fix the lull, (full disclosure, I couldn’t wait a whole year to release Alchemy) we started Alchemy. I released it in the middle of Dutch Summer BOM. This has spurred members to sew in record numbers this past month.
THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH TWO QUILTS AT A TIME
Besides enjoying the Alchemy piecing process, members cited only one problem: not enough room on their design walls! Blocks are overflowing onto beds, floors, and tables.
TAKING TIME TO CELEBRATE
We’ve got great finishes from our members, starting off with Gwen M. and her Echo quilt in many blues. Congratulations on your beautiful finish, Gwen!
Next up is Duayna S., who completed her first freezer paper piecing project using the Magic Mini pattern to make the prettiest pillow. Congratulations, Duayna for learning new skills and turning them into this. The center floral print is extra pizzaz-y!
Amy H. chose an analogous color scheme in yellows and greens. Those colors are close on the color wheel but the contrasts are stunning. Congratulations, Amy on making this beauty!
Finishing a top is a big deal around here. Months go by and then all of the sudden, it’s done. It’s a milestone for sure so we’re celebrating Nancy L.’s Echo top in jewel tones. Congratulations, Nancy on finishing this colorful, creative quilt top!
