This month it was easy to pick my goal. I pulled a set of blocks that I made at the end of December that I want to finish up. They are currently listed as a UFO since anything not finished by the end of December goes on the list.
The goal is to piece the top for a Plus Quilt and to quilt it. Even though February is a short month I should be able to do it. (Of course, that means I'll have to buy some backing fabric! Darn.)
A while ago I purchased 6 charm packs from Connecting Threads during a big sale -- each cost me about $1 if I remember correctly. I added some squares from my own fabric and made 9 patches. They are ready to put together although I do need to make some more beige strips with 3 squares in them. But the squares are all cut.
That's it for me today. (Ok, get over the shock that I'm not babbling on like I usually do!) I'm linking up with Elm Street Quilts February Goal Setting post and Whoop Whoop Friday at Confessions of a Fabric Addict.
Quick question: Do you have block sets hanging around the studio just waiting for you to make them into something? I have way more than I should and some of them are at least 20 years old. Yikes!
I'm hoping to get my stash report done soon, maybe tomorrow. I don't want to forget to do it like I have in the past.
Happy Quilting All! Bonnie
That'a already a lot of blocks, looks like you are close to the finish! Great blocks
ReplyDeleteThis will be a fun quilt. A great happy project for February.
ReplyDeletePlus quilts are all the rage now. This will be a nice quilt. I have completed rows of blocks that have been hanging around patiently waiting to be finished.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of charm packs! This will be one fun quilt.
