Getting it Done February 2013
Posted By drsao on January 31, 2013
I am a bit embarrassed……sort of…..I only met HALF my January Getting it Done Goals! I had four things on my list and I accomplished TWO! But I did a little MORE than I meant to on two of them….so maybe I am not embarrassed at all…..LOL
First……I said I was going to put my Scrappy String Flying Geese blocks together with sashings….. Did I do that……NO. I actually am stuck….I can’t decide if this is going to be a quilt with sashings…..or a really cool border….so this is now on hold.

Second I wanted to get my blocks finished for my Bonnie Hunter Easy Street Mystery Quilt. YEAH ME….I not only got my blocks completed, but I got them sewn together with borders put on. SO YES FOR MY NUMBER 2 GOAL!

Third, I wanted to complete my blocks for my second Easy Street Mystery Quilt – my Christmas Easy Street. OK…..I did get my blocks completed….AND SEWN TOGETHER WITH BORDERS…… smile. YES FOR MY NUMBER 3 GOAL!

And Fourth, I wanted to make a few blocks for the NEW YEAR’S EVE MYSTERY….but I didn’t even start! The fabric strips are still on my design board. Goal #4 is a BIG NO!
NYE 2012 Mystery Strips!
OK – so moving right along…..it is time to DECIDE what will go on my GETTING IT DONE February list!
I am going to keep putting FOUR GOALS on my list each month!
First…..I want to get the binding completed on my CURVED LOG CABIN QUILT.

Second, I want to get the binding on my Carolina Crossroads II Quilt (a Bonnie Hunter Quiltville Mystery Quilt.)

Third – I NEED to get my Christmas 2011 Mystery top put together……designed by Dorothy Young.

Fourth – I will spend some time on my Scrappy Grandmother’s Flower Garden!

Knowing me, putting TWO QUILT BINDINGS on my goal list for one month – A SHORT MONTH TOO – might be unrealistic….but hey, I am going to go for it! 🙂

HAPPY SEWING EVERYONE!
Both of your Easy Street quilts are beautiful! And that curved log cabin quilt is awesome! Good luck on your February goals 🙂
I am impressed that you finished 2 Easy Street tops. I had as one of my goals to get my blocks all done, and I didn’t make that. Your curved log cabin is a great quilt. I’d like to do one of those too. I think you accomplished more than your goals for January!!! You get a gold star from me.
I like the way you put the blocks around your center block on your curved log cabin–different and effective!
It looks like a lot of progress to me! Good luck with those bindings.
WOW & WOW again, I think you did a stellar job!!!!! Keep up the great work baby, whata’ goal………
