I’m participating in Pile Of Fabric’s Skill Builder BOM. I’ve never been big on sampler quilts, but I love the modern feel of this one. It’s also a QAYG (Quilt As You Go) project and I’ve really wanted to try that method. So, I figured, why not?
I’ve decided to make this quilt for me. I know! Gasp! Right? I’ve made several quilts but have yet to make one for me… so this one’s it! So I went to design-seeds.com and started looking for inspiration. I found about 6 of them I really liked and then had Mikey help me narrow the choices down. This is the one we decided to use.
After that, I grabbed my Kona card to figure out the colors I needed to make the quilt. My fabric finally arrived and I loved the look of using Slate as the background color.
Then… I had to wait… Until the 17th for the BOMs to publish… I was so excited when I saw the two blocks we were making!
I was so impatient when I began that I cut 1.25 inch strips instead of 1.5 inch strips, so I had to add an extra strip and wider borders on the Sound Wave block.
I still love how it came out.
The magnum block was fun to make – I love improv blocks! I really like how the colors look in both the blocks too.
Now.. to wait for the next BOMs. 
If you want to see more blocks, the Flickr Group has tons of pics in it. And feel free to go over to Pile Of Fabric and join us!
This is a fun BOM going on.
