Happy Wednesday! I have a couple WIPs, but only a couple this week. Thankfully, my back is getting better but I was not able to sit in my sewing chair for too long at a time. I am happy with what I did though!
Last week I showed you the paper pieced pattern I had ready to go, the one with 28 spots? lol Well, the block is done and I absolutely LOVE it, and it truly could not have been easier! It has not seen a lint brush yet so please ignore the cat hair...I swear cats think we quilt just for them!
and just to share... this is the first time I have laid them altogether... and I think I am in love! These are from the Skill Builder BOM sampler being hosted by Pile o'Fabric. I really can not believe I have made this, it makes me giddy! I can never get the lighting right... the truest to the real color are the darker blocks at the top of the pic... I think too much sun was coming in at the bottom.

and the other progress I made is using my In from the Cold fabrics but I can not share that til the Ho Ho Ho Christmas in July/Aug hop, my date will be Aug 6th. I can't wait! I am trying a new to me block and so far so good. I think I dig it! :)
Can't wait til it's done!
I also came up with a pattern that I designed to enter in the Connecting Threads designer contest. Omg, I might just expire if I won! Seriously...just can't even fathom!
Ok, that's it for today! I can't wait to hop around and see what every one is up to! Thanks for stopping by!

LOVE the bright sampler blocks against the black!
ReplyDeleteI love the color palette on your BOM quilt. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow that huge effort with a sore back! I'm loving the bright colours :)
ReplyDeleteStunning! Absolutely stunning - the colors are so vibrant and bold and I just love them. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteI really love the black background for your blocks! SO very striking! And, yes. What an accomplishment to work through all those different blocks -- you should be giddy! :) Good luck getting it all finished, and good luck with the fabric pattern contest!
ReplyDeleteThose Skill builder blocks are stunning. I only recently discovered the Skill Builder BOM but am hoping to have a go at some, if not all, of them myself in the future.
ReplyDeleteYour sampler blocks are awesome! Very vibrant!
ReplyDeleteWow! Very striking blocks! They definitely look like skill builders -- congratulations on a great accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks from the SB-BOM look fantastic!! I just did the first 2 and then stoped...maybe I'll catch up this month!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I have seen any lay out all the Skill Builder blocks and I love it. This quilt is going to be awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh wow I absolutely love your Skill Builder blocks! Awesome colours.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing the skill builder too! I must lay mine out like yours it's great seeing them all together, yours are the total opposite of mine (pink polka dots) I love your colour choices, very sophisticated
ReplyDeleteI so LOVE black in quilts. Really love. It pops the other colors like nothing else. This is pretty great!
ReplyDelete(Funny you mention lighting problems, I'm planning on working on that with my own quilt tonight. If I come up with anything good, it might be a future blog post.)
That is such a dynamic quilt. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blocs! I love the colors.Well done!
ReplyDeleteWow that looks great and so perfect. It will be one stunning quilt!
ReplyDeleteThere is so much variety in your blocks, this will be a very interesting quilt to appreciate visually.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look amazing together - really love the warm colours with the black !
ReplyDeleteWow, they look great!
ReplyDeleteThose colors absolutely POP! From one gradient lover to (apparently!) another, well done ;)
ReplyDeleteYour skill builder quilt is coming along so well! I made the first two and then have been totally slacking ever since! Yours is truly beautiful and you should definitely be proud!
ReplyDeleteOooh, such bold colour choices! Sparkle on!
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly building your skills, Tanyia! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteOMG - those blocks are divine! Love them!
ReplyDeleteHello Tanyia, thanks for dropping by on WIP Wed. So much talent around it makes my head spin! I certainly love the bold colours of your BOM. I haven't had the courage to try a BOM yet! Maybe when I've caught up on all my UFOs.
ReplyDeleteThese Re gorgeous, and that block is just pure perfection! Thanks for stopping by over ar my log yesterday!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour pallet that you chose! Your blocks are looking great.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful blocks, love that swirl!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh! I really love the block as well!!
ReplyDeleteWow, those blocks are gorgeous together. With the bar-graph-like one in the middle, they kind of look like a set of infographics, except in edgier colors. Super cool!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see any of these, but especially the Skill Builder sampler, in the quilting section of Kollabora, the crafting community I'm part of. Do you know it? I'm trying to get more people who make quilts in unusual color palettes to join.
