The Block of the Month Quilt

Remember back in 2015 when I started this quilt??  Well I gave up on making the blocks but I finished this unfinished project.  I pieced the back in leftover fabrics from this project as well as leftovers from another one same with the binding.  At first I wasn’t a fan but it’s grown on me.  

34 - Block of the Month with Thea June

I am waaaay behind with these but tonight after finishing another project I tackled the June block. It took way longer than it should have.  But now I have 4/12 done.  I have been only swapping out one print for another but I really wanted to use rhinos and deer even just a smidge. 

34 - Block of the month with Thea March

An update on this project.

So I actually made my March Block in Feburary but I wanted to make sure I had time to do it.  I made the block a little big purposely figuring I could trim it down.  Is switched out the pluses too for a houndstooth and I am thinking that I dislike that switch and probably won't make that swap again, although who knows.  Here they all are lined up.  I am liking how this sampler vibe feels so far.  

As a reminder...  This is the 2015 Thea & Katie Project.  We are doing the sew mama see modern blocks from a few years ago link here http://www.sewmamasew.com/2012/03/modern-block-of-the-month-bom-march-sew-along/

34 - Block of the Month with Thea - February

Here's the link to this months pattern http://www.sewmamasew.com/2012/02/modern-block-of-the-month-bom-february-sew-along/

I didn't follow the pattern but rather sketched out the strips needed and simplified the block to get rid of the funky seams.  I think it turned out regardless and once it's mixed in it won't matter.  I also did buy a This olive cotton and steel print to get a little more olive in my fabric selections.  I am planning to switch in a fabric from the original colors one at a time to make this more "samplery".

34 - Block of the Month w/Thea

Thea and I are doing a Block of The Month this year.   We decided to do the Sew Mama Sew one from 2012.  Link here ... http://www.sewmamasew.com/2012/01/modern-block-of-the-month-bom-january-sew-along/

My first attempt while the block wasn't challenging somehow I screwed it up and it was too small!  And I also decided I don't like the gingham print.  

So I made a second block adding and extra 1/2 inch to the measurements of the pattern.  This worked much better.  I also swapped in a chevron pink for the gingham.  I like this much better.

I am doing this entirely from stash fabrics (see photo at the top) although I desperately want to buy something in the olive in the + fabric.  I am going to alternate prints since I only had small cuts of the pink and some of the other prints.
