March Forth!
My March OMG (One Monthly Goal) dates back to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge of 2017. Every month, I made these little houses from all sorts of bright novelty fabrics.
I LOVED doing this! Just sorting through the scraps was so much fun! Every house is different. While I was having all this fun piecing, I barely thought about what I was going to do with the blocks when they were finished. I didn't even really keep track of how many I had made.
Today, I sorted them by color and laid them out on the floor, and finally counted. I have 77 blocks! OMG indeed.
They are only 6 in. finished, but that's still a lot of blocks.
I love them too much to just keep them in a bin.
So, here's my goal.
Before the end of March, I will have a definite plan for ALL of these blocks. They may make 2 quilts, I don't know. But they are NOT going back in the bin.
I may be quilting them by the block instead of as a finished top, and that might not be done by March 31. But, every single one of these blocks will have an assigned home by the end of March, including a plan for the quilting.
We used to have a sign in the library where I worked, right where the usually procrastinating junior high kids could see it. It said:
If you are failing to plan, you are planning to fail.
I should put one up for me. It would say:
Dithering is Hereby Banished! March Forth and Quilt!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Auntie Em! I'm getting excited about it.
DeleteThose are darling! You are guaranteed to end up with a cute finish or two when you start with such fun blocks :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Louise! Doing the math, I think it probably will make two quilts.
DeleteCute blocks. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patty! I don't know how we would get anything done without the OMG!
