Midweek: 25 blocks, OMG 2025, top-a-long

 



All 25 Old Town blocks are assembled.  I think the design looks good this way but the sashing, which I have yet to make, kicks it up several notches.  I will persevere.



I've begun something new. 



I signed up for the Top-a-long with Running Doe Quilts .  She is a designer for Villa Rosa. One pattern a month with the goal of making a flimsy.  Getting it quilted is not required.  The January pattern is Amelia . 

These are big blocks -- 17" finished -- and that 8-1/2" center square called for the jumbo Kaffe flowers.  

My One Monthly Goal for January is, as usual, two goals:

(a)  finish the Amelia top

(b)  get started on my 2025 placemat project 

Sunny and cold today.  AAUW book group meets in person this afternoon.  Quilt guild meets by Zoom tonight. 

Linking up with Wednesday Wait Loss.  (I missed the sign up deadline for January OMG.)

  1. I'm curious to know if the Villa Rosa quiltalong means that you make one block each month or do you do an entire top in that design so you end up with 12 tops by the end of the year. I'm not a quilter so these things can be a mystery.

  5. Your Old Town blocks are beautiful! I had to go look at Bonnie's version to see what the sashing looks like. It's an amazing design! I love those star blocks - they are definitely perfect for some fussy cutting.

  6. Look at you go getting all of those blocks done already! Awesome! I have the clues done, but have not assembled any blocks yet. It's getting exciting around here. Can't wait to see more completed tops in all the creative color ways.
