March Recap

I’m a few days late with my March Recap. Mostly because I didn’t want to report that I didn’t make my goals. For March I had 5 things on my goal list:

• Make “visible” progress on the Double Wedding Ring
• Make progress on Eeyore
• Make the “O” block for the Alphabet BOM
• Make progress on Orca Bay
• Bonus – make the backing for Scrappy Trips

“Visible” progress on the DWR means I can color in another section on the icon on the right.  I didn’t even get one arc quilted in March.

Progress on Eeyore – well, I did trace off the patterns, but I hoped to have more progress.

The “O” block did get made.

Orca Bay is now ready for Step 7.

Not having completed the first 4 goals, I didn’t even attempt the Bonus goal.

But, I’m no longer feeling sorry for myself.  In addition to the work pictured above, I really did get a lot done in March — just not the things I planned.

At the quilt retreat I made the Shamrock block. The modified 9-patches are for the Jared Takes a Wife quilt-along (the 4-patches were formerly my leader/ender project).

I quilted the red, white & blue quilt and made matching pillowcases to ship off for a birthday gift. Then I started a baby quilt, only to get bogged down in the border.

I finally attached a hanging sleeve to the mystery quilt that I designed so it could be photographed.  The musical green pouch keeps the tools together my husband uses to fix music stands at school.

Not quilting, I finished this knitted shawl.

Then I started another one in much finer yarn and made a mini 10-minute runner.

I definitely got more done in March than I thought.
