I’ve been busy catching up on the In Color Order HST BOM (in between making my HST BOF blocks – yes, it gets a little confusing…) and the Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer BOM.
August’s HST BOM, with which I cheated and pieced the hourglass blocks individually instead of in rows to get those points nice and neat:
September’s HST BOM:
All of the blocks so far:
And the Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer BOM… I’m just loving working with Vintage Modern!
One tip for this BOM?? Reuse the fabric you’ve already been sent to keep the newer pieces intact and bigger! Especially for the cream dot backgrounds – after 3 months I’ve got a few odd bits and pieces and will try to use them up first before cutting into the new pieces.
Linking up to Freshly Pieced!

I totally did that with my BOM fabric from the fat quarter shop last year, and made a granny square quilt from the leftovers! they sent such great pieces.
AlyceB says
It was a blog somewhere telling just how much spare fabric was leftover that convinced me to do it!! I am super keen to do the next one too!!
Kristy @ Quiet Play says
Oh the blocks are all so gorgeous! You’re going to have two stunning quilts!!

Lovely cheerful colors in your quilts. BOM’s are so much fun.

That is such a good idea for the block of the month projects!!! I haven’t signed up for any yet, but maybe next year…
Julianne says

I love your HST quilt (and I love HSTs!) Your colors are great– so summery. It would be a wonderful quilt to bust out on some gray winter day.
Sarah Strange says
Found you from Lee’s! I am loving these blocks! They look so deliciously complicated! Great work!

I love your color choices for the HST blocks. Consequently, I also have a little bit of a crush on HSTs.
