Heartland Heritage Quilt from Jan's Quilts

It's a "binding kinda week". this is the first of four quilts that came back from the LAQ. This one is from the Inspiring Stitches BOM Quilt Project for 2018. The original had a sewing machine block in it, but I changed it because I give most of my quilts away, and I thought few people would be excited about a sewing machine.

Above is the pieced quilt back and below is a group photo of the two quilts that are finished, so far.

Sew Hometown Quilt from Jan's Quilts

This is the Sew Hometown BOM Quilt Project from 2019 called Sew Hometown. I pieced the quilt top last year, simultaneously with the Heartland Heritage quilt top. The two quilt tops kept me pretty busy. There is one glaring error in this top, and I decided to just leave it.

Sew Hometown Quilt Top is complete from Jan's Quilts

The 2nd Inspiring Stitches quilt top is assembled. I sewed the BOMs for both years consecutively. This is the top from the 2019 BOM calendar. It went together really fast and I'm very happy with the result. The two variations in this one are the butterfly block and one of the star blocks.

This was finished on Wednesday, photographed on Thursday and posted on Friday! Now to decide on the quilt backs for these two.

December BOM, 2018 and 2019 from Jan's Quilts

What a relief! I finished the December block for both years of the Inspiring Stitches calendar BOMs!
With my busy schedule, it was a challenge to keep up with doing both at the same time, but I challenged myself, and I made it!

Fir Tree blocks from Jan's Quilts

Moving right along, these Fir Tree blocks for the November 2019 #inspiringstitches #sewhometown #bom were so much fun to make and way easier than the Tulip blocks. I was a tad disappointed in the trunks, but I'm not redoing them.

Tulip Blocks from Jan's Quilts

These are the 5 Tulip Blocks for the November 2018 Inspiring Stitches, Heartland Heritage quilt.

When I worked for a custom picture framer, we would add an extra charge for any customer who we deemed a Pain In the Ass or a PIA charge. If these blocks were a customer, they would definitely be paying more than the nice quilt blocks!

But, they are done! Now on to the 2019 November blocks.

Finch Quilt Block from Jan's Quilts

These five 6.5" blocks took forever; not because they were difficult, but because life kept getting in the way of stitching! They are the October blocks for the 2019 Inspiring Stitches calendar BOM.

The old backyard bench that I used for a prop for my quilt/quilt block photos was over 20 years old and falling apart. I replaced it this month with two new red benches. They are a bit smaller but I love red as an accent. The first photo I took was using the bench in partial sunlight, below, not good, Using the bench in the ...
