X-Block without borders

"Some" of my friends have been drooling over this top, but I'm having a hard time deciding on the border(s)... If you can picture the triangles cut from the 9-patches, they are supposed to be pieced to each other for the border - we'll see...

Done, done....

That's what you call a quilt that is quilted, has binding on it AND a label!! This one is done, done!! I decided to make a very special label too..

I sure am enjoying sharing my quilting with everyone - hope you are enjoying it too!

Hugs,
Barb

I "collect" BOM's

I got brave and actually counted how many "blocks of the month" (BOM's) I have saved on my computer. Some I paid for, but most were free - let's just say it is WELL over the number that I will ever get done in my life time!

Here is one that just started on 7/15/09 and I have finished the first step!!
This "free" BOM is offered here http://www.projecthouse360.com/bom2009.html

Isn't it just AWESOME!?! Help me keep up with it by "nagging" me if you haven't seen a photo the next step finished by the 15th of the month. This step means I am good until the 8/15 directions are posted - then I have until 9/15 to get it done!

What I've been working on

Here are the "bellybuttons" or centers of the X-block quilt I am working on with 2 of my friends. Actually we are each making our own quilt, but we are all using the X-block tool and patterns.






I have photos of 2 customer quilts I did, but I keep forgetting to ask their permission to publish pictures of their quilts. I know it is probably not "legally" necessary, but I just think it is the right thing to do. I would love to hear your opinion!!

I actually quilted one of my own quilts this past weekend. I guess it is the "cobbler" syndrome. The cobbler's children had holes in their shoes, and the quilter is usually working on someone else's quilt. Hey, I am blessed to be working at a job I LOVE, so I will squeeze my quilts in when I can. Since the photos of that one are on hubby's camera and he left yesterday for Illinois, I guess I am just teasing you with all my typing and no pictures. At least I'm typing!!! I promise to get pics up this weekend!

Don't sweat the small things and don't smell the sweaty things!
