Would also like to get done:

1. QOV's labeled and off (labels are on their way)

2. Quilt Red and Black with Cats

3. I found this Triangle Quilt-a-long  and would really like to do it. But it will most likely be next month

I've really tried keeping it short this month because it's going to be super busy. I have a two page list just for spring break.

 

Lovely Year Of Finishes March Goal Completed

March Goal Setting Post is Here.

It was close this month but not for lack of planning like last month.  I caught a cold this month and it took me out for a good four days.  That fourth day I was feeling so much better but didn't dare sit down and sew because I knew I'd be ripping more than sewing.  Know what I mean?

I'd been so on track with my goal and was only down to a few (four) more seams and thought I'd be writing and epic fail post. Then on Friday I was feeling better and Saturday found me back in the sewing room to finish up the center of this darling Disappearing Four Patch.

So Saturday afternoon I was able to snap these photos of the finished center of this quilt.

Love the way it looks like stained glass in the sun light.

As I was finishing up and pressing the last seams I again had that self talk about why I set goals. With wimpy self asking why I do this to myself.  It's kind of like when you're doing a marathon and around mile 21-23 you're asking the same thing.  Who's ideal was this? Just what am I trying to prove and to who? This is it, I'm not doing this again EVER!

Then as you sew that last seam and press it you admit that with out the goal you would still have a UFO hanging around. Sort of like at mile 25 you start thinking I could do another marathon, I got through this one and here's what I'll do different next time around, and you're thinking about what marathon to sign up for next. Yes I've already picked out next month's UFO.

So there it is. Goal completed. Would not have happened with out Shanna and Melissa helping me set goals and keeping me accountable.  THANK YOU to both of you, it's like have a coach to bring out the best in us.

LYOF March Goal

While I debated about setting a goal for March I pulled out a UFO, just in case. Then I continued this debate the following day and I took a photo of my chosen project, just in case.  Meanwhile the debate began again and I looked for the tutorial that I used to make the first to blocks and made another block, just in case.

Yesterday I was still on the fence about setting a goal and posting it for all world to see. I mean really February was finished on just about the last day of the month and it was close.  Then I thought well you did finish it and if you didn't have all of blog land to answer to it would still be sitting there not finished.  So while I was a just a bit stressed I got the job done.

So after several days of debate with myself and I did put up a good argument cause March is going to be super busy. Here is my March Goal.

Disappearing Four Patch:  Started in April 2013 with two blocks made and color squares cut and white fabric pulled. This is where I'm starting.

Goal:  To have all the blocks made and center of quilt assembled. That's as far as this quilt has been planned and that is a good goal for March.
