OMG (One Monthly Goal). . .WoW, what a February!

February has been so very productive for me. . . . I just wish I could figure out why so I could make sure to keep the momentum going!  LOL


I will be linking up to Elm Street Quilts for the February Finishes.

My OMG goals for February were as follows:


1.  Complete a baby afghan. . . . . DONE!

This is a full view:

 And here we have a close up view to better show the colors:

This was a variegated yarn from Hobby Lobby.  The yarn is very soft and I hope that the baby it is meant for gets a lot of use out of it.

2.  Piece together blocks that I had from 2016. . . . . DONE!

This is made up of blocks I got through Stash Bee members in 2016.  I made up a few extra blocks to bring it to a total of 20 blocks.
Here is one view of it hanging on the long arm frame:

Here is a shot showing more of the "backside" portion of the top:

Here is a closer view of some of the blocks showing the variation of the fabrics in each block.

I am thinking that I will use this as a charity quilt. . . and after seeing the size of it on my bed I think I will just do a border using a black fabric with dark gray polka dots to finish it off.


3.  Complete quilting a quilt using 1930's fabrics. . . .DONE
Here is a "full view" right after I trimmed the excess batting and backing.

 Here is more of an "aerial" view. . . .

 I did not use a 1930's reproduction for the backing. . . . but I have a ton of this fabric so I decided to use some of it for the smaller quilts that I have done.

So, February has been a great month for me.  Three goals met. . . .on top of the blocks that I was able to get made.  Now on to making the binding so that I can get this quilt totally completed.




In peace and pieces,


Sherry
