Important info: BOM with my fave LQS, Quilt Emporium, in Woodland Hills, CA. The shop owner, Lisa Hanson designed this mystery quilt with William Morris fabrics and I think it’s super inexpensive for a BOM at $15/month. Even though I decided no more BOMs, I couldn’t help but cave on this one.

The August block is done. And boy was it hard to do those appliqué stitches securing the circle down. Because I had cut the circle from the dark blue print there was very little room from the edge of the blue fabric to the background fabric. and I blame the waviness of the fabric on that. My friend says pressing will get all those waviness out. And apparently I missed there is one final step to embroider outside of the circle. I am drowning in handwork right now so I’m not sure I’ll do it.

Hopefully I’m able to get the September block finished much easier. That one is on hold while I play with some other projects that I set aside for when I’m at home.

Blocks Made

Keep on quilting!
