May OMG - done!

I am not the most organized, so I do not know which of these are the 15 blocks I made this month...

Here are the 22 squared up ones:

The final 6 that are still waiting to be trimmed:

mid-month OMG progress

I am breaking this goal into smaller bits that I can manage in between the rest of life -- I think I have done well so far.  :)  5 blocks are all sewn up, awaiting a press before squaring.

Here are the rest:

May OMG = blue and grey QAYG blocks

I took a class at Back Porch Fabrics in January.  I did 8 blocks in class and made 5 more since then...  One is not shown here:

I have 15 more squares of batting already cut, so that is my goal for May: sew 15 more blocks.

I'm not sure if I was planning a 4x7 (28 blocks) layout, or if I just got tired of cutting the batting...?  Blocks finish at 8.5".  So... we shall see!  :P

This one is my favorite so far because that leopard print was a pillow I made about 20 years ago!

DONE - Apirl OMG

I un-stuffed and re-stuffed and re-attached the leaves:

April OMG - Pineapple

I want to repair this pineapple pillow I got in 2004:

The leaves were chewed up by a puppy and pulled out, so they need to be repaired and reattached.  Perhaps I can shift the fabric a bit to make the bite marks less noticeable?  Also, I'd like to make sure the tag on the bottom is completely removed.

March OMG - done

I said that I would: "quilt this, echo-stitching with machine quilting and hand-quilting with pearl cotton on the inside of the rings.  (( And post about it on time!  :P ))"

And I did.

It is not 100% complete, but that was not my goal.  I just wanted to make progress, so I am pleased that I got done what I did.  :)

March OMG - Double Wedding Ring

Linking back to our host: http://www.elmstreetquilts.com/p/omg-one-monthly-goal.html

Last week, I got to take a class with Victoria Findlay Wolfe on Double Wedding Rings.  This is what I came up with:

Here it is ready to be basted, but the kitties interrupted...

And then before I posted those, I got distracted with the quilting, so this is what it looks like right now:

My One Monthly Goal is to quilt this, echo-stitching with machine quilting and hand-quilting with pearl cotton on the inside of the rings.  (( And post about it on time!  :P ))  I am hanging out with my Victoria, who is home sick with a fever today, so while she is sleeping, I am making progress.
