Joy from January - tracking progress
>> Friday, February 9, 2018
January was a full month of quilting! I looked back at my goal setting post and here's what I accomplished:
Caught up on my Civil War quilt guild roosting round robin - this round was the star.
I finished my log cabin row on my modern guild roosting robin. I made quarter log cabin blocks and included some of the row-by-row license plates that I purchased because they match my colours!
For my star row I'm making wonky star blocks. I have one done and need to make 3 more. I'm still not sure if they will go on the ends of my previous rows to make the quilt wider or in their own row.
I designed and donated a quilt block for The Quilt Pattern Magazine newsletter.
If you signed up before the end of January, you would have received the February newsletter and a link to the block instructions.
You can still sign up for the newsletter and have access to the pattern next month.

I am not finished quilting my Jolly Christmas quilt. I must admit I find it hard to stay focussed on quilting a quilt! But I will get back to it - promise! My goal is to actually finish some quilts this year - and not have any Works in Progress (but finished tops are okay too!)
I did end up with some time to play - or rather - snuck in some other projects!
I made myself a Curling Rocks Runner! I'm really happy I did :)
I also found the time to piece my guild mystery quilt from last year. I had stopped at trimming the triangle units and worked on piecing the units, assembling the blocks, rows, and borders.
I want to quilt this REALLY soon and give it to someone special.
Whew! What a month! I had so much fun getting things made this month. I went to a guild fun day and have another almost finished top too - but that was in February so I'll share it soon ;)
With Joy,
Sarah V.

Nice, productive month! Love the fabric in the corners of your wonky star block.
Wow!! You accomplished a LOT....awesome!
Well done! LOVE your modern roosting robin quilt! and the wonky stars, and last year's mystery quilt! Is the "curling rocks" runner a tribute to Canada's success in the Mixed Curling event at the Olympics?
Love how you quilted your curling runner!! Great month of progress for you!!
