January 2020 Goal

I've made a few test blocks for the Bea and Cecile Star Quilt Along.
 These blocks are for a smaller (throw size) version of
Smith Mountain Morning designed by Bonnie Hunter. I have everything cut out and ready to sew at next week's quilt retreat. My hope is to get all the blocks made there, but no worries if I don't make it. The entire quilt needs to be finished right down to the binding in six months. I think I can handle that! 

I am again joining Patty for her One Monthly Goal link-ups in 2020.
I like choosing one doable goal each month--preferably something older that I still want to get completed. This way I still have time to work on other projects or even start something new without feeling bad--lol!
For January, my goal is to get this signature block swap top (try saying that three times!) quilted and bound. 

And hopefully this one will be finished as well.
 This photo is a bit out of date--I've since added a border to it.
I have the backs and the bindings ready and the batting has been pieced together so it will just be a matter of getting these two tops quilted.
Wish me luck!

  1. I'm liking all of these, Karen. I'd love to see the third one with its borders, and all of them completed, of course. Good thing for me you set goals! I made the Kathleen Tracy signature quilt a few years ago. I love that quilt! I really like how you set yours.

  10. I can hardly tell you how much I like your churn dash quilt, Karen! It looks both vintage and modern and will be striking on a bed or on a wall. I just love it!
    All the best for your 2020 goals!

  18. I am following the same type of goal-setting as you, it seems. I have been trying to finish something that's been hanging around for my OMG. Plus, I work on my blocks of the month, etc. So that way, I don't get bored with the same project. Good luck with your goal. I know I am late reading some of these posts, but wanted to comment anyway.
