Design Wall Monday – 2/1/21

It’s Monday and the 1st of the month, so there’s lots to link up.

If you’ve been following my posts in January, you may be thinking to yourself “Haven’t I seen this before?”.  But I promise, this is a new picture for Design Wall Monday.

I spent the weekend working on my Guild’s website and only got in a bit of quilting.  This is all of the pieces for the rest of the wedding quilt.  The lavender broken dishes are made, and have the seafoam HST ready to stitch.

Ideally, yesterday’s post should have been my accomplishment post to One Monthly Goal over at Elm Street Quilts. I really had hoped I’d have this top finished. It’s still in many pieces. But this is where I am now:

The pieces above

Half the quilt from earlier in the month.

And 1/4 of the top from early last week.  Perhaps by this Friday.

So, what is my One Monthly Goal for February?  I could say finish the wedding top, since I’m confident it will get finished, but instead I’m going with Quilt the Red, White & Blue Wonky Dishes.

I want to work out my quilting ideas on this quilt before I quilt the wedding quilt.

Which brings me to my 2021 Personal Quilting Challenge #1. These are my objectives which I hope to have done by February 23rd.

• Alphabet BOM – Complete the top, I have a plan.
• MQA BOM – Assuming the rest of the tops is released I’d like to get at a minimum the rest of the blocks made.
• Red, White & Blue Wonky Broken Dishes – Quilt and Bind.  This is what I want to show at the meeting.
• Moda U – finish the binding. – This is DONE.
• Ruby’s BOM – I’d like to get at least the next 4 blocks made and instructions written.
• Runaround Bag – Everyone needs a new start on occasion. This is mine. – This is DONE.
• Wedding Quilt – Finish the top.

Fortunately I have another 23 days. I best get a move on it.

This brings me to the 350 Blocks report over at Prairie Moon Quilts.

• 350 Challenge = 56
• Easy Breezy = 101

I think that’s everything.  Let’s see what February has to offer.
