Month 5 -- show your progress here

[Helen W.]

James, I love the black background, the colors just pop on it. And the name of your quilt is sew perfect. 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.

[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.

[Connie H.]

Absolutely beautiful fabric choices!

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

[Molly A.]

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!

[Tena D.]

Your blocks are really pretty!

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

Pamela, I love your colors. I tend to migrate to bold, pure colors, but your color palette is inspiring me to step out of my comfort zone.

[Suzanne F.]

Helen, your bird nest block is just beautiful!

Thank you all for the kind words! The border will be the blue pieced triangles as the inner borders with the vases on the sides as Irene’s design.

All caught up.
