Designer Mystery BOM - Block Four

So a month after receiving the fourth block in the Fat Quarter Shop's Designer Mystery BOM, I finished it. Yet another block that I love.

And here are all four so far.

Hopefully I'll receive my fifth block any day now so that I can work on it next weekend.

Binding on the Front of Wonderland

This weekend I was able to make and put the binding on the front of the Wonderland quilt.  I just need to hand sew it to the back and this quilt will be finished.

I also made two curtains for my friend's nursery, but I want her to see them first in person before I post them here, so I'll show them to you sometime next week.

Vote for Autumn Comfort

I entered my Autumn quilt, Autumn Comfort, into the Quilting Gallery weekly contest.  Head on over and vote for my Autumn Comfort Quilt

Here's a picture of the quilt before the border was added and before it was quilted.

Bee Block Fabric Sent

Today I swung by the post office during lunch to drop off 8 packages.  One contained 12 Christmas blocks for a Christmas Block Swap. I made them out of a Fruitcake layer cake.
  I forgot to take pictures if the blocks before I sent them, but the blocks use the Moda Bake Shop pattern, Christmas Packages by Antler Quilt Design. 

I also sent off my packages of fabric for the NEMQG bee that I'm participating in.  October is my month and I sent along a bunch of jewel toned fabrics with a basic grey grunge white for the backing.  I am asking everyone to make me a star block and a signature block for the back of the quilt.  I'm a bad blogger and forgot to take a picture of those as well.  At least I'll be able to share the blocks as they come back.  I look forward to seeing what everyone makes.

New England Modern Quilt Guild Bee Block

I signed up for a quilting bee as part of the New England Modern Quilt Guild.  This month marked the first month.  Jill was up first for the month of September.  She asked for a 12.5" block with a friendship star somewhere in the block.  I decided to do a friendship star within a star.

What do you think?  This is the first bee that I'm participating in and I really hope that Jill likes it.

I'm up for next month and I think I'm going to send out some jewel toned fabrics with white background fabric and ask for any sort of star block.
