DWM: More QF BOM quilt progress and starting Antler Dance

Regular readers may recall that I'm using the 2014-15 Quilted Fox BOM blocks for two sofa-throw quilts rather than one ginormous 105" quilt. You can see the blocks and the plans for these tops here. Since I finished the flimsy using the alternate BOM blocks last week, this week I'm working on the other project using the main BOM blocks.

Here are the main blocks, not in any particular layout:

I'm working on sashing:

And cornerstones:

Next up: joining the blocks with the sashing into rows. Here they are on my design floor. The sashing strips are attached to the sides of the blocks but they're not joined together into rows yet.

It's slow going - those little nine patches took a lot of time! I'm hoping to get the top together this week, ready for borders. The borders require some planning to miter the corners and match the paisley print, so I may not get to them this week.

 

Also this week I need to start working on the blocks for Antler Dance, a new quilt using my Block Mama method from Cut and Shuffle Quilts (see yesterday's post below). I'll use the blocks as class samples for a workshop I'm teaching in October. Here's the plan for Antler Dance:

That should keep me busy for awhile.

 

Look for more quilty inspiration over at Patchwork Times.
