Weekly update, part 2: goals achieved

Goals?  As I type this the Super Bowl is in overtime.  Kansas City won!!!

We've been watching though my attitude is more in line with the Dowager Countess.

Last week I stated my four goals for the month. I'm delighted to report that I've finished 2-4/5 of them.

 

#1   Commission quilt.   Barb N. made the nine-patches from fabric left over from clothing and crafts that she and her daughter made  in the 1990's. She added the green squares long ago.  She asked if I could finish it so she could give it to her daughter.  

I added the borders.

I used similar vintage (Cranston, Springs, Wamsutta) prints from my stash for nine-patches to make the back larger.  

Quilted with the serpentine stitch and bound with another 80's print.   

Barb picked it up on Tuesday.

#2   I'll be part of a blog hop sponsored by Villa Rosa.  My day is March 18.    VR sent five patterns of which we are to make one of our choice.  My goal is to make all five, and I have four to the flimsy stage -- in other words, 4/5 of the goal. 

#3    The ALA Biblioquilters made International Sisters blocks (pattern by Preeti here).  I completed the flimsy just as the game ended. 

I auditioned a dozen fabrics for the border.  I looked on another shelf and the unexpected was the solution.

There are four more blocks that I'll piece into the back.

Busy week ahead with the first cataract surgery on Wednesday.
