Old Town Sew Day

 

This month's Sew Day for Bay Area Modern Quilting (known on this blog as BAMQ) was as usual super fun, and this time, quite productive for me personally and all of us as a group. Before we got started on the group project, I worked on pressing all of these previously sewn together partially assembled blocks for the Old Town mystery quilt.

Two more blocks were finally assembled and pressed making a total of fifteen blocks done

As a group we worked together to make an entire quilt top. It was a quite a good turnout of members and we had a lot of participation in the project so it went together in just one day's effort. There was a main block, two types of side blocks and corner pieces to make. Our Community Giving organizer was Peggy and she had it so well set-up with demonstration blocks like the one above, the background pieces were all using and the instructions for each type of block. It made it so much easier for all of us to dive and get going.

Another one of our members, Carrie took this picture of Peggy getting down to business on designing the quilt with all of our blocks. The leftovers from sewing the block were also assembled into another quilt top. I was too busy sewing them to take pictures of that unfortunately, but they ended up as

Diamond in a Four Patch blocks in two different sizes.

A great day of sewing and socializing!
