Garden Party -- BOMs Away!

Because the color of the month is RED for the RSC19, I decided to start working on my Garden Party quilt.  This is a Bonnie Hunter pattern.  It can be found in her book Addicted to Scraps. 

 

I added two extra rows to make the quilt larger.  The original size is only 82" x 82".  I am now at the point where I can count to see how many more blocks I need.

 

All of the red framed 9-patch blocks are now complete, as are the ends and the last corner!

I lay the blocks on the bed and carefully pick them up in order so that I can chain sew them.

I take pictures just in case they get mixed up while being sewn.

Look at all those yummy scraps!

I over estimated by a few.  After sewing all of my blocks I still had this many left over.  I'll use them for another project.  I know I'll be using scrappy red cornerstones for my  RSC plus quilt.

 

I am primarily concentrating on finishing this quilt top.  This is my designated personal BOM.

 

I'm linking up with Lynette at What a Hoot for BOMs Away!

 

 

My husband got old "Betsy" (the black truck) out to plow the driveway.  His friend stopped by to see if he needed help.  Betsy used to be a pulling truck at the fair.  She's a '71 Chevy with a big block.  Shifting her is a little sensitive, but I can do it when I have to.  It's nice to see her out and about.
