Last weeks goals:
*Keep working on Purple Monochromatic Quilt - It is LOADED on the QUILTING MACHINE - and now I will be forced to quilt it before I can do ANYTHING ELSE - okay sort of. Tomorrow is a field trip to the Capitol, and so we KNOW it won't be Friday till I get to see that room again!
*Cut up some other strings to make Lime green Blocks with: Can I hear a Maybe - sort of to this one? I have the foundations cut, I have a stack of fabrics pulled ( 1 pound 11 oz to be exact) and they are on the downstairs cutting table...... its a start - I'll take it!!
*Keep sewing the Pineapple blossoms: Oh ya baby - I got at least 10 more of those suckers done. and I have all the strips cut for the rest.......
and and and.... I got a few Quilts of Valor quilted: ( let me hear the Hoo was!!)
This heartstring quilt came from Laura in my http://www.heartstringsquiltproject.com/ group.
This beauty was made by Ethel in my local Quilt Guild.
This last one was made by Tamera over at http://tameraquilts.blogspot.com/
Hoo ya - they are all quilted and ready to be bound at our February Sew day!
We even got in a little sledding time.... in the very very cold snow!
Goals for next week:
- Quilt the Purple MC Quilt
- Keep on finishing the pineapple blossoms
- CUT some strings for REAL
- Bind UFO #10 ( maybe)
I found out this week that I may be a *gasp* perfectionist, which really makes me laugh - because seriously - have you seen how square my quilts are?
But one thing about perfectionists - they are procrastinators. I fit that category quite well - Thank you very much! So that means I may have to put the binding off until someone FORCES me to do it!!!
To see what others are up to go to:
And have a great evening!!

Alycia, you are so funny! I can see you being a perfectionist...and also being a procrastinator! LOL. Why do you think it helps all of us to do the accountability thing? Cause we would ALL put things (especially bindings) off for years if we could! I need a little forcing sometimes.....
Those quilts of valor are beautiful! I love the bright strings and the RWB looks complicated! Some soldier will cherish that! And you sure can't beat Tamera's Twisters!
I can't wait to see the purple quilt and also the pineapple blossoms. I love the spark the lime green gives to it!
Keep it up and I will be glad to come out there and force you to do some work! (Would that count as a vacation for me?)

I love those quilts...I can't pick a favorite. LOL I am a good procrastinator myself LOL Thanks for reminding me that I have bindings to do ;) You may have to come force me to do them. LOL
Oh that looks COLD, Hawaii sounds good to me also!!
More beautiful quilts Alycia and you have been busy. I love the plaid one with black centre strings. I can't imagine how cold it is there and I'm glad that you took time to play as well.
