I copied and pasted this - the pictures don't show up. I thought Egg Money BOM should go here though. I couldn't find the first posting about this. Who is ram-rodding this?

[Evie]

I am. I asked if Andy could transfer the post over here because it has over 100 entries in it. Thanks for posting this here.

[Evie]

Here's the address for the old post which has the pictures:

Too bad the pictures couldn't transfer too.

How's everyone doing on their blocks?

June is probably a very busy time for a lot of people. Don't worry, you can still catch up! I won't be starting the next block thread until next week.

Evie asked me to post how I did my EggMoney Quilt. Each block is framed with a 2" strip and the blocks are sashed with 3" sashing and corner stones. I quilted each block separately, and then joined them using a combination of instructions from Georgia Bonesteel, and other bits and pieces I picked up over the years. I didn't read Marti Michell's Quilting in Sections until about 4 weeks ago.

The quilt is completely machine quilted in my home sewing machine. I had it hanging at a meeting last week and discovered I like the back as much as the front. So, now I need to get a picture of the back and when I do, I'll post it and give some more detailed instructions.

This was a fun quilt to work on. The interfacing kit saved a step, and I can't say enough about the QID Flying Geese rulers. I love those so much that my first block for a recent swap I was in was Dutchman's Puzzle (8 flying geese) and the second block I did was Louisiana (4 flying geese).

I cut out all the fabrics for the whole quilt yesterday except for the last green. Hopefully I'll get that done tonight and start working on the Grandmother's Flower Garden block. I know I'm a little behind but I'll be able to catch up fast since I've cut out everything.

These are my blocks, thought I would transfer the photos. Top two blocks are without the extra stitching. Bottom photo closeup of my batik block after extra stitching. I did extra on the other block also, only took picture of the batik.

[Evie]

Grammy, SewSew, Checkers, and gramajojo, did you want to transfer your photos over here. I went to my old posts and used the edit feature to get the photo info, did a copy and then pasted it in over here. Worked great.

[dforseth]

Evie, what stitch did you do the "extra" with? I really like that one best.

dforseth, I like the "extra" stitch a lot, too. It looks like a feather stitch on my machine. I just finished my autograph blocks and need to catch up on this BOM before the new block comes around!
