January 2022 OMG Goal

 I love making goals. I love making plans. I love making lists. I love dreaming about the possibilities. But I need some accountability to follow through on those goals and plans. When we canceled our plans for a 50th wedding anniversary celebration last April, I pretty much stopped working on the 50th Anniversary Quilt aka Ella. This is what it looked like the last time I put it up on the big design wall.

 


I want to get it complete. For my Jan OMG goal, I am aiming for completing at least 5 more foundation pieced blocks this month. I could also sew on more of the sashing strips. That would make it easier to put on the wall. But there is a directional design and I am trying to get all the little designs going in the correct direction. Maybe I could even sew on some of the brown cornerstones. I have them all cut out. Sitting in a box. Somewhere.

Blessings,
Chris

    This is going to be such a beautiful quilt! Directional fabric is lovely but can be annoying to cut the correct way. Happy stitching in the New Year!

    Best wishes for completing your One Monthly Goal, Chris. The blocks you've finished are beautiful! I'm sure they take a while to make.

    so gorgeous!
    I am right there with you on my Ella quilt. I was keeping up until my sewing machine had to go to the repair shop and it took 2 months to get the part needed. Mine is still up on my design wall, topped with the smaller project I'm now working on. I think I only have four more blocks to complete them all...the sewing together of this immense quilt really overwhelms me so that is not helping me get back to it!
    Good luck with yours, again, its beautiful!

    Loving goals, plans, and lists - oh how can I relate. We are much alike in that regard.

    This quilt is so stunning that I am pleased to see it as your One Monthly Goal!!!
