BOM progress ~ Patchwork Barn

Just a quick update on my progress for the  Patchwork Barn Block of the Month by Edyta Sitar.  It's month 8 and I've finished all the small blocks for this quilt - a total of 72 6-1/2" blocks.   Looking forward to starting the center Barn block, which starts next month!

I noticed I hadn't posted anything for June or July, so here are those blocks:

and these are the blocks for August:

Here are all the small blocks up on my "design wall":

Excited to see what comes next!  Linking up with Lynette for BOMs Away

2018 Finish-A-Long: A 3rd Quarter Finish ~ Eldon

Two years after I started this in a class, the Eldon Quilt is finished!  I did make it quite a bit smaller with just 9 blocks and no border, but it's perfect for snuggling.  :)  I took quite a few photos of this one ~ so happy it's done! 

I had fully intended on trying some free-motion and/or ruler quilting on this one, but I ran into so many issues with thread breaking, skipped stitches, etc., etc.  So I got out my trusty walking foot, and wrestled my way through.  I do love the texture of all those straight lines.  I decided to name this quilt "Wrestling with Eldon."  :)
