Boom 19 - Autumn
#2061
I am so looking forward to the next swap. I have the fabric picked out. I have to measure to see if I have enough for a group. If not I have to shop online to see if I can find some more yardage.

Jayne, after seeing your blocks and that beautiful quilt, it was settled for me. After checking out GramE's link, I changed my mind pretty fast. I already have fabric that I had planned to send. Guess I'll use that one for just one group instead of both for Boom 20. For sure they will be totally different fabrics!

I also bought some fabric Fairy Frost and a few reds that caught my eye. I would love a winter quilt. Will also use for a boom. The reds were $3.00 a yard Fairy Frost was $4.00. Still an exceptional deal.. Libster I loved all the Christmas fabrics but wasn’ sure of the size of the designs.
let me tell you I am having an absolute hay day with the quilt as you go blocks. Just love quilting on them. Hope I can get them together correctly

Stop worrying you guys. For me, the joining part was a whole lot easier than trying to manhandle a whole quilt through my machine at one time. I made these last two quilts 5 blocks X 6 blocks. I laid out my blocks on the floor to see where I wanted them. Then I quilted and joined all my rows of 5 blocks. I put a safety pin in the first left end block of each row so I could keep them in the right order. Then I join rows 1 and 2, lay it aside. Join rows 3 and 4 and lay aside. Join 5 and 6 and lay aside. I then go back and join the first and second sections (rows 1 & 2). + (rows 3 & 4). It's easier for me to do it two rows at the time. This way, I can keep all my blocks in the right order. I love adding that last strip of rows 5 & 6. I know when it's finished, all I have to do is bind it and I am finished! YEAH!! This is just the way I've worked it out for me. It may work better for someone else a different way.
