June ( ackkk) : One Monthly Goal

I was thinking in my head last week, that I really needed to sit down and decide my June One Monthly Goal - and then Bam! June was here - and I hadn't decided.  The indecision - oh my!!

I ( unlike any other quilter ha ha!)  want to do it all, and finish it all in a day - and look amazing while doing it.... but alas - I have narrowed my goal.....

I toughened up - I made a decision - and NO! I was not influenced by the fact that this project is actually on my design wall - so it would be ludicrous to remove it ( right???)

here it is:



This!  I have enough blocks for another quilt too - so since I didn't make the blocks - I am expanding my goals - Piece this top , add borders, piece the other, add borders.... MAKE A BACKING - and..... If I really want a reward - Quilt them..... I am going for it folks - keep your fingers crossed, and send me well wishes.


Did I tell you that June is one of *the* craziest months for us this year??  Seriously - I am missing those days when the kids were younger and our big goal for the day was to get chores done and play in the pool....

ah well - It;s all good....

June's One Monthly Goal

And your monthly goal (those are my alma mater colors) reminds me that I have a bin of Texas Aggie fabric waiting to become a quilt. I love Irish Chain quilts. You can do this!

Our only lives out of state and my husband was gone with a friend Saturday until around 5:45. I had my blocks pieces but I added sashing and borders and put the rows together on Saturday. It's amazing what can be accomplished with no interruptions! I even managed to do a bit of laundry! Good luck on your lofty goals!

Good luck with your monthly goal -- May is our crazy month so June seems a bit more manageable here.

Enjoy the kids while they're home and busy. Time flies and before you know it they're all grown up! Plus...It's good to have goals! :)
