February/March goals

Here we are at the end of February already! So, how did you do on your February goals? I did a pretty good job, although I didn't finish all my goals. Here's how the month turned out:

1. Piece the 2nd border for my Fibonacci's Challenge quilt. Done. See the latest progress here.

2. Make 5 blocks to send to Alycia for her block drive. You still have a bit of time to join in the fun. For every 5 blocks of her pattern that you send to her by March 8th, your name will be put in a drawing for a gorgeous fat quarter pack. Done. See this post for details. In the collage above, the blocks look like they're different sizes, but that's only because of the way I cropped the two photos.

3. Make 1 block for my All-Star UFO quilt. Almost done. But technically, I do have until midnight tonight to finish it! Check back tomorrow for my First Friday UFO post to see what block I'm working on...

4. Embellish the February seams of CQJP 2013. Okay, not very far along at all. I need to recapture my enthusiasm for this project.

My two extra credit projects were:

1. Finish 9 block A's of Easy Street (I'm trying not to be too ambitious with Easy Street this month!) Done. Here's the post about it.

2. Baste and quilt my AP&Q Mystery Quilt. Not started. I was planning on working on this over my long Presidents' Day Weekend, but other things came up. I guess I'll keep transferring this to the following month's extra credit list!

March goals:

1. Piece the 3rd border for my Fibonacci's Challenge quilt.

2. Sew twelve blocks together for my All-Star UFO quilt.

3. Embellish the February and March seams of CQJP 2013.

4. Trace, cut, and fuse appliques for Makenna Ryan 12" mini-quilt. (I'm feeling a need to work on something that doesn't have Christmas fabrics, since both Fibonacci and Easy Street are Christmasy.)

My two extra credit projects are:

1. Finish 3 block B's of Easy Street.

2. Baste my AP&Q Mystery Quilt.

I will have the last week of the month off work for spring break, so hopefully I can get all this done:)

Here's the poster I made to hang in my studio, as a reminder of my goals:

 

See how other quilters are doing on their monthly goals over at Judy's.

Happy stitching!
