Here is a quilt I am making for a dear friend of mine. I am hoping to make two quilts one for her and one for me. "Sigh" I am so tired of never having a quilt that I make so I am thinking if I start making two of everything I can give one away and keep one. So my goal for this is to get three more blocks made this month. I am going to try to keep my goals in the attainable range. These blocks are just sooo pretty though I really love them. Mine will be in a more Christmas tone of fabric.
Sorry for the blurry picture. But i am at work and can't get another. I have been working on this quilt FOREVER and really want it done. I just need two more blocks which are almost done and the borders. I am bringing this with me this weekend to a friends where we will sew and go to the Augusta quilt show. I think I just might finally get this quilt done YEA!!!! Well then I have to quilt it. I will sneak it in between a couple of customer quilts and get this done by my September goal!!!!!
I want to get some of these put together with sashing. I have 25 made so far and want them all sashed then I will make some more. I would like to get it big enough to be a sample so that I can teach this for a class at my LQS. I just love this fabric. This quilt makes me happy. I am doing this as my starter and ender blocks so this quilt will take a while to be completed.
This is my hand work for when I am sitting outside of oboe lessons and clarinet lessons and Dr. appts. I again am making two for the same reasons as before. I really hope to keep one when done. I am almost done with one of the snow angel blocks and want both done by the end of the month. I already have two of the skiing blocks done. I am doing one in light blue thread and one in dark blue thread so they will be a little different.
Now that they are posted maybe that will give me the motivation to get some things done! I can't wait to see what everyone else is working on.

You have some lovely quilts on your design wall!
Nice quilts. I get so excited and motivated to do more and more. It's great. Oh, and the lime green room is great. They did a good job. That will be fun to decorate.
I love all your blocks! And I can't believe I'm meeting another Dawnmarie! How cool is that!
Oh Dawn Marie - I love those blocks - they're so pretty! And, I'll say it again - I love the Oklahoma Twister. And, what cute snowmen! I'm with ya - make a couple - you deserve to keep one girl!!! Great goals!!
great design wall. good idea about making an extra quilt for you. It took me a long time to make a quilt just for me and of course it was out of orphan blocks, which turned out to be perfect as I have a little bit of a lot of my quilts in one place!
I actually kept a lap quilt I made last week - was supposed to be for charity, but I just loved it, and hated to give it away, and realized I hadn't made anything for me in the last year - so it stayed and I'm working on not feeling guilty!
WOW, you certainly have been busy and have a lot to show for it! Great projects!
You're getting so close with the second quilt--what a great dynamic block that is. Seems like your interests are all over the board and lively.
Absolutely love the top picture.
I like the top stars but I really like the second one. What is that one called?
Did I say I liked it a lot?

I am also working on the snowman blocks. One of the problems I have is that I made the small ones first and now only have the giant ones to work on - did I say they are giant and have a lot of stitching to do? I just need to keep plugging away at it because it is a very nice quilt when completed. I have quilted a couple of them for customers in red so mine is blue like yours.
Pretty! Pretty! Pretty!
Great goals and beautiful projects! have fun!
