12 Days of Christmas BOM progress

Quality time with my sewing machine and working on a BOM I purchased from Fat Quarter Shop.   Although this BOM ended months ago, I've only managed nine blocks so far.  Many of these were a lot of fun to assembled.  As you can tell, all of these still need to be trimmed and they will each get a border.  (For the photo shoot, I just laid 2 blocks side by side.)


The basket and the stocking      I like both of these.




House and large ornament.  The house was fun to put together.




No idea why blogger turned these around...   Candy and more Ornaments.  I think i made some errors on the candy blocks.  If you look carefully, some of the corners are square and some are not.  I will take this apart and fix it.




Again with blogger.


Gift packages and a wreath.  This wreath pattern is quite fun to assemble and I made a small mini quilt from it last year.




And, finally, a stocking cap.  This is my least favorite color combination.  I may remake the block.




While I love many of the prints in this line, 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain, there are a few colors that I don't really like.  I did some substitutions at times.  Once all twelve blocks are done and laid out with borders, I'll get a good look at color.  Fat Quarter Shop is very generous with their fabric cuts so I've enough extra to redo a block if necessary.


Ho Ho Ho.


Happy Stitching!

  1. I think all of the blocks are wonderful - and the colors are lucious - I can't even pick just one. I do like the color combination in the stocking cap - perhaps it will look different when you lay it out. This will be a really fun quilt. The one thing I have found out about BOM quilts is they usually have some really fun blocks to make and I love a challenge. Judy C

  3. Your blocks are lovely! You need to resize them and then re-add them to your post. If they are too big, I notice that blogger rotates them. Shrink the pixels. =)

    Thanks for sharing with us!

  6. I enjoyed seeing these! It looks like you got a chance to do some pretty elaborate piecing, but in small doses. (Can't you just see my mind working? Hmmm....maybe I have to start doing some BOM quilts...!!) I find myself slow to accept aqua as a Christmas color, but when I saw these prints in blocks, I actually loved the addition of aqua to red, green and white! It will be fun to see what you do next with it!
