I counted how many blocks I have left for my scrappy trip around the world blocks, I think there are only 19 blocks left! So my goal this month is to finish sewing all of my blocks, I can see the end!
The center is a cross stitch made by my friend Amy, she stitched it on burlap. When I quilt it should I hand quilt it by tying it? Just the center. Or can I free motion quilt burlap?
I was thinking of FMQ the word "meow" between paw prints. I can do that either on the burlap or the cat blocks? I was also thinking of skinny straight lines on either the cat blocks or the outer border, there is also the idea of tiny free motion circles on the outer border? What would you do? I'm hoping to get it quilted tomorrow so I can enter it in the Pets on Quilt Show.
When you set monthly goals, do you prefer setting a lot of goals or easy goals you can attain?

I make a list of my goals with the most important, time sensitive projects listed first, and with what step needs to be accomplished next.
ReplyDeleteI like the meow between paw prints, but have you FMQ either of those motifs? Whatever you do it will be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's August already too!! I love that your husband bought that table for you...so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see you using that black table as a sewing table. I've spotted those at our local Target store and thought they might be perfect for sewing . . . now I know for sure! Your husband always comes through with sewing gifts for you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your blocks. Personally, I am in denial that it is actually August!
ReplyDeleteI can really see the center here. Cute!!!
