Blogger's BOM last block

Oh happy day... This morning I finished my last Bloggers BOM block - the quilt-a-long hosted by  Jackie. This is the last block of the 12 blocks, which also means it's been a year since I started this project.  It's been so much fun and a great way to learn balancing colors, piecing and trimming. I can easily tell the blocks I first made from the later blocks.

Sarah Fielke choose the 'Star in a star' block. I loved the idea right away - even when I read the instructions and found out I was to piece triangles made from diagonally cut 1 7/8 inch squares. They are pretty small I should add! But besides feeling a bit clumsy with big hands, it went fine. And I have to say I think it goes perfectly with the rest of the blocks.

All the BOM blocks
Each time the kids pass my design wall I force them to express just how much they like it... Evil mom as I am. No seriously, I love, love, love how it turned out.

As usual I did two blocks in each a cool and a warm pallette (the cool looks a bit lopsided- must just be the way it hangs on the design wall - in real life it is straight):

  5. Love your blocks and fabric choices. So sad this BOM is coming to an end. I'm hoping the setting they show us next month really lets these blocks shine!
