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
ReplyDeleteAnd 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!
ReplyDeleteOur 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!
ReplyDeleteAh, man, I loved those days that you described! Brings back so many good memories. Time certainly flies. Have fun completing your goal!
ReplyDeleteYou can do this - go for it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your monthly goal -- May is our crazy month so June seems a bit more manageable here.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for your Irish chain quilt(s)!
ReplyDeleteAh, maybe you are a WSU cougar?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your June OMG! You can do it!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and they aren't even my school colors. lol Good luck fitting in your goal this month. Aren't summers supposed to be slow and easy?
ReplyDeleteWishing you loads of luck-but I am sure you can do it!
