The February heat wave has messed up my plans (because I only wanted to be outside and kind of forgot I was supposed to be sewing) but I did finish my OMG with only a few hours to spare. Phew!!
The goal was to have all the missing blocks of the Westering Women BOM done.
TA-DAaaaaahhhh!
Sorry for the shadowy indoor photo but it is already too dark for an outside photo-shoot |
The second goal was to have all the blocks for the I-Spy quilt made.
TA-DAaaaaahhhh!
Eight star blocks and
eight regular 9-Patch blocks. I was running low on fun fabric for this one so I inserted some flannel. I have as many fun prints in flannel as I do in cotton. It proved to be hazardous as my flannel scraps are up there.
Anywho!
For my March OMG, what will I do? My intention, last January, was to make the Westering Women in February and finish the quilt in March. But after September, I really need a break from this quilt before I fall out of love.
Never would have thought that September is a troublemaker.
So instead, I'll assemble the I-Spy quilt and baste it. That's all. I mean, the weather is nice and I want to be outside so just a little challenge for March.
Until next time ... breathe in, touch flannel, breathe out, repeat.

Sounds like a very good idea! Your September Westering Women block turned out great, kudos to you for persevering!
I have experienced showers of fabric too.
Woohoo!
I knew you'd kick September's butt!

nice little westering women....i like that all the blocks are different fabrics....i used a cheddar/indigo FQ bundle for mine and they are nice, but colors got boring...
looking forward to seeing the quilt top. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your project.
