What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

White squares need quilting

My #onemonthlygoal for September is to finish quilting my purple scrappy Irish chain quilt. It was the UFO I was supposed to work on in August for the APQ UFO challenge. I did work on it, but I didn't finish. 

The UFO challenge number for September is 10 which means I should be working on assembling a red knit cardigan/jacket I cut out ages ago but never put together. Not feeling to confident that it will get done, but we shall see what the month brings.

My #onemonthlygoal for August was to complete my black and white cotton skirt. All done! I have made this same pattern many times and yet somehow I managed to sew the waistband front in upside down. I may have spent as much time un-sewing as I did sewing on this project.

Pattern cut & ready to assemble

My #onemonthlygoal for August is to complete the black and white cotton skirt that has been a PIG (project-in-a-grocery-bag) since at least last summer. Maybe I can get it put together so I can wear it before this summer is over.

I spent this past week with my niece, much of it at the beach, so almost no sewing got done. (It was a great week though!) I managed to miss the deadline for posting my OMG finish for July. I did complete my goal several weeks ago which was to finish my bargello quilt. The UFO challenge project for July was my Guild Mystery Quilt which I got out, selected quilting thread for, and began quilting it. Not much progress, but some.

Quilting detail - Purple Bargello

My one-monthly-goal for this month is to finish my purple bargello. I finished quilting it last month and added the binding which now needs to be sewn to the back by hand. I plan to hang it in the front entry of my house so it will also need a hanging sleeve added.

72 log cabin blocks (some in a pile)

I completed my #onemonthlygoal for January. I finished the 72 blocks I wanted to make and got a good start on the final 72 I will need to make the quilt. I'm linking up with One Monthly Goal.

My one-monthly-goal for this month is to make 72 mini log cabin blocks for a quilt I want to have done in April. The plan is to make a lapquilt from 4" (finished size) log cabin blocks and I will need a total of 168. I have 30 made so if I made 72 this month and 72 next month I will be ready to assemble and quilt in March.

crumb quilt with binding fabric

I made my One Monthly Goal for October so am setting a new one for November. It isn't big, but it is binding which is one of my least favorite things. My #onemonthlygoal for November is to get the purple crumb quilt bound. I will need to make the binding, attach it, and handsew it to the back of the quilt. 
I was having trouble getting the picture in this post and then forgot to go back to it in time to link up with One Monthly Goal so this is unofficial.

90 finished blocks and the pattern

I completed my #onemonthlygoal for October. I finished all 90 blocks for my purple Happy Scrappy Irish Chain. The next step is to sew the blocks into pairs (they are pinned and ready to sew) then assemble the top.  I'm not sure yet if I am going to add a border, I will decide when I see how the blocks look put together. 
So far this quilt has 1,440 pieces in it!
I'm linking up with One Monthly Goal and Oh Scrap!
