Well it's Monday . . .

that means it's time for another BOM Rehab update!

I hope you're not getting bored with these Northern Lights blocks, I'm not getting bored piecing them.  Probably because I'm doing one a week.  And it doesn't even take more than a couple of hours to cut and piece each one of  these blocks, which are huge, 16 1/2".


So now I'm up to 5 focus blocks pieced, two more to go!

And here is a general idea of what it's going to look like when it's set.


Just in case you're new to my blog, the pattern is Northern Lights by Marti Michell.


Last week I was a winner for Sinta's monthly BOM Rehab drawing, woo hoo!  If you have a BOM you could drag out of your closet and work on, do it, and join in the fun.

  1. Looking great!
    I don't have any BOM's...can you believe it?!? I only ever tried it once, and I have finished the quilt top (not the quilting yet) but I really missed picking out my own fabric. That's one of my favorite parts, so I haven't been too tempted by BOM's (I must admit I did love some of the Fat Quarter clubs BOM's but the cost of mailing to Canada keeps me in check!)

  3. I do have a BOM, but sadly I'll still have to put it aside until maybe February:-( Too much on my plate, but I sure do enjoy seeing yours go together--you're an inspiration! XOXO

  4. I like seeing your weekly BOM - it gives me hope that the BOM (complete kit) that I have in a drawer might get pulled out and worked on some day! I like yours a whole lot better than the one I have - that'll give you a clue as to why it's still in the drawer.
