I'm back to working on the Christmas Figs BOM. After completing the first two blocks last month (Block #1 is here and Block #2 can be seen here), I thought I'd be working on the next two blocks in the sampler. However, I had a lot of work I wanted to also get done on another project and a workshop to prepare for so needed some easier blocks to tackle this week than the next two in the book. I picked these two to work on instead:
This is the Nine Patch block which is Month 3 in the book.
This one is called "Milky Way" and is the second of the Month 3 blocks. Again the challenge for me in a BOM like this is that since I'm working from a stash I collected rather than the exact fabrics outlined in the book, I have to try and "play designer" and pick out my own fabric combinations.
Next month I plan to go back and do the Month 2 blocks so know that I'll have to plan to start my prep a few days ahead to allow myself enough time to tackle what I expect will be challenging blocks. Forewarned is forearmed!
