March's Goal ~ OMG

The small, manageable goals that I have set the past two months are resulting in inching my way to a completed quilt. Therefore, I am delighted to join other goal setters at Elm Street Quilts March OMG. This month's goal is to have all 48 blocks pieced together.

There will be some block rearranging in the process. Afterwards, a decision will be made for the need of a border...or not.  ;-)

Red & White Blocks ~ OMG

During the month of February I pieced more blocks for the red and white disappearing four patch.

Previously, I was unsure on the finished size and if there would be a border or not. I am a visual person, therefore, I needed to get the blocks on a design wall to help me decide.

I prefer the layout of six rows across and eight down. When the borders are added it, will be approximately the size of a twin comforter.

As they quilt, grew two design walls were made one with a gridded gray flannel and the other with leftover cotton batting. A third one will be made as the quilt is getting larger. Note the bottom row is taped on. Lol.

My personal preference is to have a border which I need to determine next. This month's  motivation was meeting a deadline for One Monthly Goal (OMG) at Elm Street Quilts. Mission accomplished. Design wall is up and blocks necessary are completed.

Admittedly, there were several February distractions, i.e., Olympics, a needlepoint project and thoughts of spring reorganizing.

I hope to do more quilt piecing in March.  I am also linking to WIPs on Wednesdays where you can view great projects in the making.

OMG February 2018

February's One Monthly Goal (OMG) will be a continuation of January's goal. Enough blocks have been completed that I am comfortable determining the finished size which will be the size of a throw. Therefore, only 11 more blocks needed. :-)

This month's OMG goal is to have 11 blocks pieced and 56 blocks laid out and begin assembly. I am being realistic that I may NOT have a flimsy as I may decide to add a border. Not to mention that there are only 28 days this month.  ;-)
