ALYoF June goal setting

Good morning Folks,

June already!! I'm so amazed at how quickly time is flying.

Well I didn't finish my May goal of quilting my Paint Chip Challenge project. It's about half way done, maybe a bit more.

So, my goal for June is to finish it up. As the challenge project is due June 28th.

April goal...MET!!

Hello Everyone,

Another gorgeous day for us here. Looks like our usual rainy April is giving us a break this year.

Woohoo!! I am happy to say, that my I spy quilt is finally, completely finished!!

I bound it with this cute, color fabric...sorry, I don't know what line it is.

Little man approved!

 

He thinks those flaps are fun.

 

Thank you Shanna and Melissa, this is great!

Now to figure out what my May goal will be!!

Have a great day.

 

April mid-month check in

Hello Everyone,

I'm checking in with Shanna and Melissa.



 I've finished quilting my I spy!! woohoo... now it just needs a binding.

I thought I'd show you what was in all those peek a boo tabs. Here's one quarter of the quilt. I love the big numbered blocks too.

Second quarter. I messed up and put two of the same fabrics side by side here.

Third quarter.

 And the fourth quarter.  I found one block upside down, when I was quilting. grrr. But I did not see any need to stop quilting, do some ripping, and turn it around.  Panel 10 was too large, it was twice as long. So I just cut the number out and added trucks around it, to make it a smaller size. It originally had trees on it.

Animals and vehicles. Isaiah loves both. Anything with an engine is dear to him. LOL

Have a great day!

April goal

Hello Everyone,

I hope Spring has sprung wherever you are...unless it's Winter in your neck of the world ;) We have RedBud's blooming and wild flowers starting to show their faces. I love this time of year.

I know you are all sick of hearing about my I Spy by now, but it's my April goal. I need to get it finished. Meaning, completely quilted and bound. Thats my goal!

And then I can concentrate on Grandma's 90th birthday present, which is also my project for our Birds blog hop on Sew We Quilt in May.

And work on my oldest son's quilt.

Linking up with QuiltStory today also.(Darn it! Sorry Quiltstory readers, I meant to link you to my March finish post, as it has more pictures of my I spy. You can find it here, if you want.)



 

March finish

Hello Folks,

My goal for March was to finish putting together my I spy quilt, and start to quilt it. I blogged about it here.

And I've met my goal! I realize I still have a day or two of March left, and I might be able to do some quilting over the weekend. But for the most part, I am happy with my progress.

I backed it with some soft, cute flannel.

Just some simple line quilting.

Thanks to Shannon and Melissa for a fun year of finishes.









 

Progress

Hello Everyone,

I spy something orange...
         Is it this giraffe?

No.

Is it this dump truck?

Yes! It is.

Yup, I have my I spy top put together.

 (Not the best picture I know...it was too windy to hang it on the clothes line. lol)

This is my mid-month checkin with Shanon and Melissa.





I've been busy with the mystery quilt for the past week. I'm not quite finished with it, but it's been keeping me from getting this I spy quilted...I had better hurry up if I want to reach my goal!

I've also done a bit more progress on my hex quilt.

I got the blue round put on most of the hex's. The gray is going to be the background. Then I have triangles and setting triangles and strips to do...lots going on, never enough time ;)

I'm linking up with Less and Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday too!

Have a great day all.
