Update on BOM progress + EYE CANDY

OK, I'm really doing this!  I'm taking the plunge and going for it on the Sarah Fielke Block of the Month.  You can see the first post I wrote about this design here along with some fun colorways other quilters have created.  I've colored about a half a dozen different plans before I landed on this one that I'm STILL not even sure if it's exactly what I'll do but at least I have a jump off place.  Here's what I've got so far . . .

The first block we make is only the square that contains the eight little houses.    My plan shows yellow on the houses but they are actually going to be this polka dot fabric with purple roofs, pink doors, and cheddar windows.  See, I'm already off the plan!  But the main goal was to keep it a light color so at least I managed to do that.  

I have so much enjoyed seeing all of the blocks that have already been made.  Everybody who is doing this BOM can sign up for the Facebook group and post pictures of their progress there.  SO MUCH EYE CANDY!!  Oh my goodness.  I got permission to share some of the different versions of this first block of Sarah Fielke's BOM.  So enjoy the view! I'll share my block when it's farther along.

This one is by Suzanne Hampton.  

I love how she used some Mary Engelbrecht scraps for the applique circles.

Here's another example of some fun fussy cutting with raccoons, bears, rabbits, and squirrels!  This block was created by Mari Linfesty.

This one was created by Bernadette Howson. who is going scrappy!  She did have a picture of her completed block but for some reason the fabrics show up better in this one.  Beautiful colors!

Helen Hope is responsible for these fun colors using some Kaffe Fasset fabrics.

This beauty is by Heather Stevens-Lott.  Have you noticed I tend to like the brightly colored ones?

This one was made by Tessa Van Vulpen from Perth Australia.  So crisp and precise looking!  She put house numbers on each house too.  😊

This cutie was made by Colleen Kobata.  Love the gingham and the fussy cut circles!

These beautiful purple and blue shades were put together by Inca Marie Turton

Love those fussy cut owls by Gina Olson-James!

Can you believe this psychadelic block!!   Such a great 60's vibe!   

This was created by Marianne Stewart.

As much as I like bright colors, I absolutely fell in love with this block by Dianna Alger using traditional fabrics.  I think this is my favorite and I'm TRULY tempted to start over using this color way.  It will go better with the colors in my bedroom.  I've never made a quilt for my own bed yet and I think this one might be the one.  Did I tell you my husband is making us a king size bed???  EEEK!!  I can hardly wait!  If the quilt rack he made me is any indication of how it's going to turn out, I'm thinking it's going to look fantastic!

I was told by Dianna that most of these fabrics are from Kim Diehl.   So I'm putting out a call right now!  If anyone wants to sell or destash any Civil War reproduction fabrics or Kim Diehl fabrics, please do let me know.   I am in hunter/collector mode!  I've seen the Wit & Wisdom bundle she has out right now.  YUM!!
