Finish-A-Long Quarter 1 Goals

Two things first: Thank you for all of your sweet comments on "Diamond in the Rough." I am completely overwhelmed on here and on Instagram! Also, keep the funny sewing comments coming! They are fab!

I'm joining the FAL/Finish Along with Katy this year. Short term goals have helped me accomplish a lot, but so have the long term ones!

Finish Along 2014

Quarter 1 Goals

1. Finish my second Sisters' Ten BOM quilt! I have all the blocks ready to go in a plastic bin, and some of the sashing is cut. I'll be interspersing scraps like the first quilt, and I'll be quilting it similarly, too. I don't expect this one to be done until the end of the quarter.

 Some of the blocks - back in the summer!

2. Finish the snowflake string quilt. I've had some recent inquiries about this quilt and a tutorial, so I can definitely distract myself from buying fabric with those pursuits :)



3. Botanics quilt challenge, inspired by a photo - you can read that post here. 

 
Just pulled some more solids for this:


4. My Riley Blake challenge piece. The fabrics aren't "speaking" to me, so this is just a vague plan right now. It's due in Feb., so there's still some time. I'm thinking of adding lots of solids.

5. Start and finish a mini quilt for my bloggy friend Renee. I can't show you the fabrics I've chosen or the pattern I've designed because I want her to be surprised! They exist, though!

6. Start and finish my orchid challenge quilt.




That's enough (as in, way too much) until sometime in March, right? I have plenty more for the second quarter already planned!

  2. I've been thinking about your orchid challenge/moon phase quilt and then remembered seeing this on pinterest and it all came together, haha: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18TEQ8I6ZfjTpVp5AD3dBG7lplOMWU9cy-YjSN2nQqpuqbOKkroTSwWPydSBM/edit?usp=sharing
