April's One Montly Goal~ "A quilt for Christine"

                                    
                                                                   Pile O' Fabric

Check out the post from early February 2017.  I had a Grand time sewing all the 2 1/2" strips together.  They were hanging on the wall pretty as you please. There were 20 fabulous 21"x21" blocks staring back at me. They want to be squared up! They want sashing! They want binding! They want to be quilted! They want to have a lovely binding added so they can be snuggled under or covering a big country-cottage chic bed! They want to be beautiful in all their glory! They want to be treasured and loved!

                 Sniff....sniff.... all I have are still those squares with nothing to update on.....

Lucky for me!!! Elm Street Quilts is hosting One Monthly Goal inspiration! My aspiration for this month is to get this top put together.

      Thanks Kathleen, I've been totally putting this off because it is a bigger size. I tend to like working on the smaller quilts~

    Smart move to break this down... a completely finished quilt would be wonderful but squaring them up and sewing them into the top is a realistic goal for a working mom. Hope you get this done!

      Thank you Bonnie! Mother-hood/Grand-momma does sneak in it's very own challenges.

      I am stumped with this one only because I am looking for something more to it. Not just those straight lines. My challenge is "Shabby Chic". When I think of that, I see raw edges and fluffy layered flowers. I must Move On with this and go For it!

    What lovely colors! You can do it!

    Just curious, have you thought of doing them QAYG? I am also a working mom and I really like the idea of quilting it block by block as I can sneak it in.

      I've never tried it, and probably should give one of my projects over to learning the technique. This one will be for a client so it will have a professional LAQ finish to it. Thanks for the suggestion~
