One Montly Goal Routine

 It is getting routine that I miss the month end 

link up and sneak my achievement 

into the next month's goal!  

My goal for May was well met

with nine tops pinned and ready for quilting! Yay!

 There was a WIP just waiting for me so 

I managed to create two more flimsies to start out the month!

The, "What should I do next", pile was toppling over, so 

I spread it out on the work table. 

There were : 

blue Irish Chain bits,

green Irish Chain bits,

25 patch color family blocks, 

36 patch with alternating solid blocks, 

a whole flock of flying geese waiting for direction, 

 some crazy patches,

and some log cabin leftovers waiting for a home. 

The blue and green chains were the most appealing and 

here is the result! I started with the green!

I made a few changes along the way . 

Seven blocks made it too wide, so I 

removed the extras, but that made it too small. 

Just like Goldilocks, I settled on six blocks 

across to give a finished size of 60" x 70".

Then I moved on to the blue stack since 

the green turned out so well. 

These are part of the Stash Buster Challenge 2024 over

at Border Creek Quilts.  Easy to complete and the 

blocks come together nicely .  

This may be my " Log Cabin for 2024"!  

Last year I stitched up a bed load of log cabins 

and the lovely look of these Irish Chains have pulled me in. 

This year (the next half), I will be trying to use up a 

bunch of strips and stitching up a few more of these 

charming Irish Chains. 

My goal for June will be :

                   ~dig into the sandwich pile and quilt a few tops

                    ~organize some color crumb blocks 

                    ~start a few more Irish Chains. 

The work on the two quilts forced me to organize and 

the little OCD bug in the back of my brain had a blast!

My 2 1/2" square boxes was a confused jumble 

so I sorted them by color and used baggies to 

curtail their movement.  I tend to mess up the stacks

when choosing squares so the baggies will 

maintain order more effectively !   Ta Da!

There was even enough enthusiasm left to deal with some scraps.

Here's a nice little row of 2" squares ready for a home!

Happy stitching on the beginning of summer!

Stay safe and sew on !
