I am joining several other bloggers in setting goals and trying to meet them on Tuesday each week.
I am pleased to say I met my goals for the week. The first goal was to work on a couple more panels.
The first one features a red barn with Christmas trees. After squaring up the little panel I added the first border in a black/gray marble fabric, next came the red and white checkerboard.
So much fun to add my own flying geese pieced tree. More black/gray marbled fabric for a finished 1" border which also goes around the green and red pinwheel additions. The striped binding sets off the final red border.
A little close up peek at the red barn itself.
I decided to use four red string blocks sashed with a black print to spruce up the center of the backing.
The next panel I worked with is a another red truck one. And can you spot my red truck prop! I found it unpainted at the Dollar Tree:) So I got right to digging out my paints, brush and made a fast job of painting it.
I had lots of fun deciding what features I should do in this wall hanging. I could have done more trees since there are trees in the panel itself. But I wanted it a little different. In the end I went with quarter square triangles to make the red and green border blocks.
Some custom quilting ensued:)
The other goals I had were to make a reversed S swirl runner and to make a round wedge topper. I did work on two of each style. The fabrics were pulled from the stash and all the strips sets are sewn. And that is as far as I got. They are all Christmas related. I thought maybe that would help keep things cool. Nope didn't help one little bit. Last week was really nice, but as I am writing this we are heading to the 90's again.
The first ones on the goal list for the upcoming week is to
- finish piecing the above round wedge toppers and S swirl runners.
- Work on snowman runners
- That's all I can muster up the desire and energy for this week!
How about you will you have a long goal list or a short one?
Linking up with To Do Tuesday at Texas Quilt Gal, and Midweek Makers Wishing you all a wonderful week.
