Oh no, I totally forgot about May’s BOM. Have to squeeze it in before month end.

-I MistressJennie submit this as my May BOM entry.
I’m so glad I took the time this afternoon to do this block! I love how dramatic the 2 colors make the star.

Very dramatic and I love the contrast. Well done!

Very nice! Will this be part of your scrappy quilt or is it for your Halloween quilt?

I’m so thankful you posted a photo of yours. I wasn’t sure if I liked this block enough to add it to my quilt because I didn’t really ‘get it’ but now that I see it in better colours, it makes sense.

Yeah, I think the example made from blue and orange was a bad call. They are opposites on the color wheel which can be a nice contrast, but they are also nearly identical in value. If the blue were a darker navy, the orange would stand out better against it.

This BOM has me itching to get back to piecing. But it’ll be a couple of months more I think.

How about a little Jude Hill style scrappy hand quilting? This could be an opportunity to explore slow stitch, the opposite of your usual pace. Might be fun, or a pita, you just never know

I love her stuff…she is really a unique character. I almost would rather do slow stitching in some random way than embroidery patterns and sewing machine quilting! The pieces evolve over time and there really is no set pattern or project…a daily meditation that just involves sitting down and stitching a little each day

How often is the spreadsheet updated? Am I looking at the right one? It says April but it says 1st quarter…also, I did submit my April BOM and it is not on the chart.
I, @AIMR , submit this as my May BOM.

Love the fabrics you chose for that block, @AIMR.
I keep getting sidetracked by other projects with deadlines, but I have been working on DS2’s colorwash quilt. I finished the strips yesterday. I also have a nice pile of crumb quilt panels from doing leaders/enders/chain piecing - I’ll be cutting these up for my economy quilt (the faux-eider down style pillow quilt).

The colorwash quilt is just so pretty!
Seeing your crumb blocks makes me want to take all of my scraps and just start sewing…lol

Thanks! I am loving the crumb quilt technique so much. I can totally see myself doing a whole quilt with it…someday.
