1930's Block of the Month

My local quilt shop has two patterns-a block and applique- available each month for $3-pattern and fabric! Each block is 6 1/2 inches. These are the last 6 blocks I have made. I love the fabric. I am involved with two different block-of-the-month projects there. This one ends in May of next year. I have a lot of patterns from previous months I still need to pick up and I need to learn how to applique! (you can click on the picture to make it bigger)

I need to make a to do list. I have so many projects that are in some stage of completion...

Thangles Block of the Month

I am working on a block of the month project from my local quilt store. I finished the block for June today. It measures 8.5 inches. This is a pretty cool program. The first block was $6 but every month after that the block is only $1 if you bring in the previous month's finished block. I wasn't too sure about the fabric at first for this one, but I ended up liking it. It has these really bright teacups on a yellow background.

Block of the Month

While I am quilting away on my Nickel Dog Quilt, I thought I would share some of the other things I am working on. My local quilt shop has several Block of the Month clubs going on. One of the BOM clubs in a Feedsack Quilt sponsored by Thangles. With this club, you pay $6 the first month and you get these triangle papers by thangles and the first block which is below:
You then have until the end of the following month to come in with your finished block, show it to them, and purchase the next month for 1$. Yes, one dollar it is! Here is my block for February.

Here is my March block. I was one day late with turning this one in-I left work much later than I thought I would be able to and arrived at the store 5 minutes after they closed. So, I went in on the first of April (my birthday!); since I didn't get it in by the 31st, my new block was $6. I have learned not to procrastinate!

Finally, here is my block for April:


The fabrics are so neat and the blocks are 8.5 inches.

They also have a 1920's fabric BOM and they have two blocks per month. One of the blocks in pieced and the other is applique. I have a couple of the applique blocks to complete, but first I need to learn how to do that! Here are the April and May pieced blocks below. They finish at 6 1/2 inches square. These are 3$ per block-so a bit more expensive but they include the pattern so you learn how to make new blocks.
