Blogger's BOM for July

This is the July block for Blogger's Block of the Month. It's a Split Ohio Star brought to us this month by Victoria from Bumble Bean Inc. It sewed up quite nicely since the directions were easy to follow. It's a traditional block but I think the split background makes the tone more modern. Victoria is using plaids in her version of these patterns. The look is so different!

Here are my blocks so far! I really like how they look together! Of course, the setting is still unknown so I have no idea what this top will end up looking like. However, so far, so good!!

I plan on doing some machine quilting today. I've neglected my Summer Sampler and have finally decided how to quilt the next block. Custom quilting takes too long! I like allover patterns much better. I hope to pin the layers for my Christmas Wreath soon. I'm trying to choose the backing from my stash.


I plan on watching Opening Ceremonies for the Olympics tonight! I can't wait! I have a hexagon to finish stitching as well as a pair of socks to knit. I won't feel quite so guilty as I watch the Olympics for the next couple of weeks! Go Team USA!!


Have a lovely weekend!

    I love this month's block. I could see making a whole quilt with that block and getting and interesting secondary design.
    I'll be watching the Opening Ceremonies tonight, too!

      Thanks so much, Victoria! I'm wondering what the quilt top will look like too. It'll be fun to figure out!! Thanks for the great tutorial this month.
