Projects and Weekly Goals

     It is Monday again and time to check on project progress and goals.    Last week I only had one goal because it was time sensitive.

1. Quilt the split nine patch Done and given.

    This was a church quilt group project. Since it was a rush project, we planned to quilt it on a friend's long arm machine. Monday we found that would not work out so Tuesday we sandwiched it for me to quilt at home on my sit down long arm machine. I decided not to try any fancy quilting but simple swirls overall and finished the quilting Thursday to pass Friday for binding. The bride to be was very happy. I know I have shown this quilt in progress several times; however, here is the final photo with binding.

    Happy that the gift was finished in time and given, I pulled a small project to quilt for a Ukrainian child.  

I did continuous FM loops in the blocks and a loopy meander in one border with swirls in the outer border.

The binding is made and I'm hoping someone else will sew the binding on.

    I pieced a small paper-piecing block to show during a presentation next week and then finished hand sewing the binding on “Peony Stars and Summer Winds”. This week I hope to add a little more quilting and call it finished.
