This is really gorgeous! I’ve only ever seen or heard of trapunto one other time when @endymion made me an amazing Ruth Bader Ginsburg hoop ornament. She’s busy moving, but I’m tagging her so when she pops on, hopefully she’ll be able to see your work!
Thanks for sharing it on our quiltalong! I’ve added your points to the tally.
FYI for everyone!: You are welcome to share your works in progress here and you don’t need to feel like you need to submit projects to join in our craftalong group!
I still haven’t taken my sewing machine out in ages. I’m going to have to or it’ll think we’ve broken up!
And, I have been very absent. I really thought I would get all caught up this summer, but my brain was about as turned off as it could be. Of course, not that school is about to start, I’m itching to craft again… this fits my lifelong pattern of procrastination most admirably
The center is a little square that was in a batch of donated fabric along with more cut pieces. Someone’s UFO. So I added some prepared garden beds to complete a nine in nine patch.
-I marionberries submit this as my August BOM entry.
This came together quickly and easily…must be learning something.

Ooh the 9 in 9 center in the 9 square is fun, like putting a wonky star in the middle of a wonky star. Very fun!
I really like the colors you picked for your BOM!

Hi all! August is coming to an end and we are starting Sept! The end of Sept will bring our next drawing, so get your quiltin’ on! (That one’s for me! I’ve been strangers with my sewing machine!)
I’m going to share September’s Prompt now so I don’t forget to, but please don’t post anything for September until tomorrow!
With no more delay, the prompt is : back to _____. What are you getting back into? Back to school? Back to that book you laid down, back to Christmas crafting, back to that UFO, back to basics…however you interpret it!
I’m working on cutting my mystery quilt fabric. We get our next clue this Thursday and I want to be ready for it! I definitely prefer having all my fabric cut and ready to go when starting a quilt!
I currently have two quilts ready to go to the longarm quilter, just as soon as she texts me back. I’m very eager to have them quilted!
I’m hoping to finish up a Christmas quilt that I started earlier this year in order to get it quilted soon as well. Also, I recently celebrated my birthday and my husband got me the Kimberbell Candy Corn Quilt Shoppe kit. I’m really looking forward to getting started on it. I’ve never done a Kimberbell project before and felt like I needed more info than the instruction booklet provides. Thankfully, I found a YouTube quilt along video series that looks very promising in guiding me along the way! Has anyone here done any of the Kimberbell projects?
I love this block and am going to do a few more to add to this color scheme…I don’t have a lot of fabric left but I think I will be able to finish the year with at least twelve of blocks…with sashing, I can get a nice size quilt.
I ordered a Fat Eighth bundle of Mystical Land fabrics, to make the Wind Drifter quilt for my cousin’s wedding this month. The fabric arrived and it’s absolutely lovely, and the pattern seems simple and straightforward enough. I still need to pick up some background fabric, but there’s an indy quilt shop around the corner, so I can go get something soon. But I just got word that the wedding has been put on hold! Again! It has been delayed twice due to covid, and I wasn’t going to travel for it anyways, but did plan on sending the quilt along to the bride and groom. In the time waiting for the fabrics, I prepped for the Magic Making class, and started on some jewelry work I really needed to do, and I’m debating finishing that off, before pulling out the ironing board and rulers, to start cutting. But I really want to make this quilt…
And in other news, I’ve officially got all my fabric unpacked, folded and on my shelves. Now I need to sort the rest of the room and free up some cutting space and I’m going to make something… Or at least finish a crib quilt that was started way back in Jan.
I say make the quilt, because you never know, they may just give up & elope & end up forgoing a big gathering & then you’ll scramble! Is that enough reason to go play with the fabric?
