Goals for this week!
#52
I bought enough fabrics for five new outfits for my niece's summer clothes. So, I want to work one in here and there in between finishing my rythum and blues quilt top and quilting hubbies charity golf quilt I promised for the auction. I will have company three days of this week, so I am hoping I can get a few of the outfits cut out while visiting. Hey ... maybe I could be like tom sawyer and get them to cut out too.... LOL! Not likely though ...

lol it sounds like a good idea to me.
I finished the drunkards path and the charm blocks and I've got most of the sashing cut. Who knew it took that much fabric for sashing and boarders. I'm going to keep that in mind.
Ok goal for this week. Is to finish cutting the sashing and boarders. Square up my 15 blocks. And create boarders for those that ended up alittle smaller than I wanted. And get the top all sown together. That's a lot but I'm getting excited.

I made my goal for last week. It was close but I did get it done.
This weeks goal is to make my quilting frame because I don't want to try and hand quilt this in a hoop.
Then I want to get the center block quilted. That's the stained glass owl. I'm going to try for an asian influenced lacy maple tree pattern with him sitting on one of the branches. I've drawn a rough sketch of the pattern. Now I just have to size it and transfer it on to the fabric.

Yellow Brick Road pattern, scrappy borders to use what I had on hand. Each backing is two different fabrics again to use what I had.

that jacket is just adorable. Great job.
There will be no quilting frame for me. The parts that came in are the wrong parts. And the list of grrrrhs trying to find the parts is just enough to put me off of the project.
So I'll be hooping it. Which means it could take a lot longer than anticipated. Cross your fingers for me. I'm going to try for 1 block plus the connecting sashing per week. That should get it done by the end of June.

The hoop did not work at all. so I took my 50% off coupon to JoAnn's and bought the floor model pvc pipe quilting frame. I ended up wasting enough time trying to do it cheaply that I'm behind on the actual quilting. I don't think I'm going to complete the owl block this week and certainly not all the sashing. But I should be in good shape to get them completed next week.
So how are the rest of you doing?
