April Goals/March Recap

I fell a little short on my April goals.  I still need to quilt my pillows and bind 3 more quilts from January.



April starts baseball/softball/track stuff so that doesn't leave much sewing time.  I have a retreat this weekend which should help me to get a few things done.

This is what I will be working on in April -

1. Quilt 2 more customer quilts.
2. Put together the blocks for Lewis and Clark quilt.  I did manage to get the alternate blocks made in March
3. Put borders on my 4-patch quilts set on point.
4. Put the last border on the Churn dash blocks
5. Bind the remaining 4 quilts from January
6. Put together a new project that I cut out
7. Quilt the pillows/runners that I made in February (after number 1-4 is completed)

Focus!!  I seem to be having some trouble with this lately.

I am ready for borders for this old scrap quilt.  I made the sashing in October.  I put it together earlier this year.  Now I am having some trouble picking the border fabrics.  I may just go with large bricks of several fabrics.  It is so large that I have to gather it in the middle to make it fit on the design wall.  I think it will be about 118" with borders.  Do you have a border preference?

We are still waiting (rather impatiently) for a city assignment for my daughter.  I don't know why this is harder than waiting for the country assignment.  I did manage to put together this cute little mug rug as a test block. The pear pattern is from Fig Tree quilts.  I love how it turned out.   

Stop over Judy's to see what others are working on on this week.
