Been working on my 2009 Fat Quarter Shop Mystery BOM and I'm up to date! Block Number Four was the dickens to put together; I frogstitched and resewed a couple of seams before I had it right.Block Number Five won't be here for another two or three weeks, and that's just fine.
The last week in October a bunch of us are retreating to White Oak and since I've bought the fabrics for setting the 2008 Mystery BOM, I think that is going to be my main project.
On the wall behind the BOMs, you can see some of the yield from the brown and aqua star swap that I organized -- oh -- more than a year ago. I've been putting the rows together as a leader-ender while I sewed the bazillion or more little bitty seams for Block Number Four.
Once I had these up on the wall to photograph, I noticed that one piece in Number Three was in wrong-side-up and I've gone ahead and fixed it.
The colors in these BOMs are not my usual choice, but I do love how they play together. And I like learning one new block each month.

Good for you, catching up is such a victorious feeling. Ask me how I know... I'll tell you if I ever get there.
Oh these blocks, I do love them. ...and I have some brown and aqua in my stash. Saved for a particular pattern. It's become aged though.
The block colors may not be something you normally would choose, but it's working! It looks like a lot of pieces too:)
I learned a trick this weekend for getting those seams to match up better when you sew. Check out my blog. See you at Sam's Club in the office supply section!
Lovely blocks. I like the colors.
I love the colors! Gorgeous work!
They are beautiful. It feels good to catch up (at least that's what I remember...haven't been there for awhile)!
Your blocks are gorgeous! I'm a new quilter and I'm also in this BOM club but have been too timid to try them. I'll probably do them with some stash fabric first to make sure I can get it all figured out!
I agree, number 4 was tough. I need to color the diagrams in the future because I did some froggy stitching myself. We're on track! I do like many of these blacks and am saving the patters to use again.
