The skies were clear Sunday night making the lunar eclipse easy to see, but the 6-degree temperature meant I viewed it very briefly from our front steps.
It's much warmer in the studio!I'm pleased to report that I have completed both parts of my One Monthly Goal for January.
OMG Part One: assemble the blocks for the Good Fortune mystery. Last week I posted the photo and the story of my travails. I haven't done anything to rectify the make-do corners on the outer border.
Instead, I worked on OMG Part Two: assembling the 30's bow tie blocks. Here's the flimsy. It's 70 x 70.I missed the OMG link up due to my travel schedule--I got home late 1/31 and didn't realize the link up closed a midnight -- but all the other finishes are HERE
I pieced the back. It's under the needle with the center quilted. Hopefully I can finish it before I leave for the ALA Midwinter Meeting on Thursday.

I missed the eclipse but oh was the moon gorgeous this morning!
ReplyDeleteThat is just amazing, Nann -- the bow ties are fabulous, and I'm not sure what you mean about "make do" corners on your mystery quilt because I think that one looks spectacular, too. Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteGF looks great and the bow tie flimsy is perfect ! The 30s fabric is just right with block. Have a great trip.
ReplyDeletevery nice bow ties....i'm doing one as well...great minds!
ReplyDeleteThat bowtie quilt is lovely. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! The Bow Tie quilt turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteGo Nann Go!
ReplyDeleteI like the bow ties in that configuration and in 30s fabrics. Roads are icy here!
ReplyDeleteYou sure get a lot done in a week! Love the way you set the bow ties. What size are those little guys? I may have to make some bow tie blocks (again...I used to make them by the dozens!) Hope you have fun at the Mid Winter ALA Meeting.
