Barbara - Love Mary-Louise's use of men's ties (shown in your blog)-- so creative and the dark background really shows them off. Was the background fabric also silk? A silk quilt is still on my someday list!

[Barbara B.]

Sally is using some wool and lots of embroidery, student work

Barbara, Please tell Sally that I love, love, love her combination of wool, hand embroidery, Kaffe, and then using a subtle background.
Fabulous work. HelenW

I am having fun and enjoying the BOM sew along w/ Barbara & Irene.

[Connie H.]

Absolutely beautiful fabric choices!

[Susanne M.]

For my month 5 blocks, I experimented by mixing different fabrics. When I sewed the blocks to months one to four, I realized I should have used my eyes, not just my heart when picking fabric for vases. I know I can balance out dark/light in the next few months.

[Helen W.]

Suzanne, Your quilt is coming along beautifully. I think the vases will look great if you just continue with what you did for the vases on the side blocks. HelenW

[James D.]

I got this one done early this month! Here's week 5 and my progress so far of my Garden Party Down Under After Dark.

[Connie H.]

Wow! Stunning work!

[Molly A.]

Love the background -- and your title!

[Ursula C.]

[Molly A.]

Going on vacation so I needed to finish BOM5 early!

My progress so far. Ready for next month.

[Jeanne C.]

So far it has been fairly easy to keep up. I am hoping I can maintain this over the summer. I have been cutting my applique pieces using my Brother Scan n Cut which makes the process quite easy. For some of the applique this time I substituted Sulky iron on stabilizer for freezer paper using the paper on top method for needle turn applique and I liked it a lot. The stabilizer is lighter weight than the paper.

[Barbara B.]

Jeanne, love your colors. I think the work gets easier from here. One appliqué block and one pieced block months 6-9, then 4 simple appliqué blocks once you start the Diamond borders.

[Helen W.]

Jeanne, I like the half square triangle idea for the second border. Nice!!! HelenW

[Ursula C.]

Like the Black and White 1. Borderline and the Team Vanessa in the 2.border. IT gives good structure
To the quilt.

[Marge P.]

I was not sure I could finish 2 applique blocks in a month, this was a great challenge!

[jrgermain]
