Back With A July Finish

That's right I'm back with my July finish.  

I started the month with my Lovely Year of Finishes goal mentioned here.

Decided it was going to turn out too small. 

Added some blocks.

Ended up with this little quilt for charity.

Here's a close up

The backside

This quilt was made with the blocks sent to me from the 

ladies of the do. Good Stitches Cheer Group

It  measures 42.5 X 51

and is going to Project Linus

A Lovely Year Of Finishes - April Goal

I'm back with my April goal for A Lovely Year Of Finishes.

 I've done well and met my goal each month,

 of coarse there's only been three, but I'm thrilled.

 It has kept me in check, which is why I join in, in the first place. 

I tend to post the goal and the finish at the last minute, which isn't good. 

I need to fix that and post earlier. Sometimes, like today, 

I don't even know what my goal will be until I start posting. 

Umm, yea, I need to do better.  

This month I have another 

little quilt to get working on. 

I've been undecided about what to make for my partner.

Her work is wonderful and her tastes extend into an area that 

I'm not confident of being able to pull off.  

I am a bit intimidated.  

Play it safe, or stretch myself? 

I want to stretch myself, but what if my little quilty is a fail? 

I'll have to get something done at the last minute and I don't want that. 

A final decision needs to be made.

I've pulled a few fabrics, but they're not really speaking to me.
Ugh! 

I was going to choose another project as my April Goal, 

but since this little doll quilt is such a big deal for me, 

I don't know if I'll be able to get to anything else. 

So.
