Sweet Land of Liberty for May Done, Nutcracker Suite, Sew Lets QAL

I have a bunch of things to share today.  First, I finished my installment of the Sweet Land of Liberty, Cheri Payne's design.  We are working on it as a quilt-a-long on the Quilts by Cheri Friendship Group on Facebook.  Lori of Humble Quilts, had a quilt-a-long last year, but I came in when they were finishing up.  She is doing it again on the Quilts by Cheri Friendship Group on Facebook again this year.  Last night, I finished up stitching this month's assignment.  I did my letters and basket, hand and birds this month with wool applique.  

Also the past several days, I have been working on a BOM I am getting from Shabby Fabrics called Nutcracker Suite by Cheri Leffler Designs.    I'm keeping sort of current with this one.  The past several days I have been fusing the laser-dye cutouts to the background fabric.  All I need to do now is get them machine sewn down.  

Even though I have innumerable BOM's  that are years old, I had to get this one as I collect nutcrackers, and I loved it!

Also, I have been working on the Partners in Design Sew Lets QAL.  We get a block every two weeks.  Every two weeks, one of their designers has a block for us to do.  This block is binding clips along the edge of a quilt, designed by Jennifer Fulton of The Inquiring Quilter.  I posted this on the Partners in Design Facebook group last week, and someone pointed out my green clip was wrong.  I forced myself to get this block done last week when I was battling migraines.  Yesterday I thought, no problem, I'll just take the green one apart.  I did take the green one apart.   Then I realized the green and yellow half-clips were correct,  the other three were wrong.  The big rectangle is supposed to be holding the binding, not the other end.  

So I just decided to start all over and pay attention to what I was doing. 

I'll  be linking up to Monday Making at Love, Laugh Quilt , Moving it Forward Monday @Ems Scrapbag, and BOMS Away Monday @ What a Hoot.

Making Progress. BOM's Away Monday

I have been slowly making progress on the Great Pumpkin Quilt.  This UFO was from 2006.  I started here in July working on this quilt.

At that time, I had 4 blocks that had 4 blocks that were ready to machine applique, and I got those done as part of my Finish-A-Long goals.

I have been slowly and steadily working on these BOM blocks.  

I have now completed the 12 blocks, and I need to work on the top border strip. I'm really excited to be finishing this. 

Last week in looking for a particular fabric, I came across 4 more BOMs, 3 never started/.  I'm going to be busy for a long, long time!  LOL!!

I'm going to be linking up with What A Hoot, BOM's Away Monday, Em's Scrapbag Moving it Foward, and  Love, Laugh, Quilt Monday Making.

One Monthly Goal, October, BOMS Away Monday

I'm linking up with Patty at Elm Street Quilts for October One Monthly Goal.  

I've been really gung-ho on getting my Great Pumpkin Quilt BOM finished.  My goal for October is to finish this top at least.

These are the two blocks I finished today.

I have 3 months' worth of blocks  to do on this quilt, and then an appliqued border that goes across the top.  I hope to have the quilt top done by the end of the month.  

I'm also linking up with What a Hoot Quilts for BOMs Away Monday.
