My One Monthly Goal for December dealt with the ALA Biblioquilters. (ALABQers are people who work in or with libraries. We collaborate to make quilts for the scholarship auction at the ALA Annual Conference.)Part one -- make four book blocks. Once I got into it I ended up with a dozen! (I created the block design for Block Lotto. Another Biblioquilter is coordinating the quilt that will use these.)
Part two -- create and post instructions for two quilts that I will coordinate.
(a) Wanda Hanson (Exuberant Color) showed this shadow box a while ago. Her blocks were 16". I rescaled the block to 8".
(b) Okay, so I didn't create the instructions for this one. It's a free download from the American Patchwork and Quilting site. I've asked the ALABQ to use red and soft white for their twin stars blocks.
I am linking up with other OMGers at the December Finish page at Elm Street Quilts . I add a **big** thanks to Patty for hosting OMG. I have won the monthly drawing twice in 2019 -- a six-month subscription to the online Make Modern quilt magazine AND a 2020 Quilter's Planner .
I love the book quilt. All three projects will make nice donation quilts.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good idea to use a free pattern with a lovely photo for group projects. People can see what they're doing better. You are an inspiration with the auction quilts you make.
ReplyDeleteAha! You’re one of the lucky one who win a lot! I’ve done OMG for 2 years and never won. But hey, I’ve sure finished up a lot of my monthly goals, so that’s why I play! 😂 I remember those Block Lotto book blocks and I’d love to make a quilt of those some day!
ReplyDeleteAppropriate blocks for a librarians auction quilt! That should get a good price. Nice choices for the other group quilts.
ReplyDeleteNice book quilt! Congratulations on completing your OMG! And, fo being a winner twice, with fabulous prizes! I love red/white quilts and can’t wait to see this one!
ReplyDeleteFun quilt. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish.
