Did I meet my Goal?

Do you want to know if I met my One Monthly Goal (OMG).  Keep reading to find out.  Patty at Elm Street hosts the OMG each month in hopes of helping us move projects along.  When I remember, I like to post a goal in the beginning of the month and try hard to meet it.   This month was to make a bunch of red stars. 

Here is the start of the stars, I needed 10 of them.  I wanted 8" finished stars so I used my Accuquilt Go 8" cube to make quick work of it.  Before long I had five finished and then added spacer strips between the stars to make them fit the rows of black/gray blocks.  Another day I whipped up the other five stars.  

And then I couldn't stop, the stars got quickly sewn to the black/gray blocks that were already sewn into strips.  There are two rows of the blocks, then a star row followed by four rows of blocks, another star row and two more block rows. A fun quilt to make and I have been wanting to do a red and black quilt. I think this fits that desire quite well.  So yes I met my One Monthly Goal. 

I think I will add a small red border and then a tone on tone black or gray border to finish it off. This is a Missouri Star tutorial called Summer Stars.
