OMG, I'm coming in under the wire

It's the very last evening of the very last day of June.  It's hard to believe (especially for me!), but I actually DID make my One Monthly Goal for June.

This is the actual goal, and I quote:
So here's my one monthly goal for June.  I'm going to make a twin-sized dinosaur quilt for Little Buddy, my youngest grandson.  The quilt will be designed, cut, and pieced before the end of June.

And here's the quilt!

The colors are a little off here.  I had to take the photos inside because of a thunder storm.  What looks black is actually dark blue, and the colors are bright prints, not pastels.

This is not actually a quilt top, per se.  I quilted the center panel and the first two borders as though it was a baby quilt.  Then I added the borders (for the top) and wide strips for the backing.  Once that was done, I laid the batting strips in and spray basted them.
So it's actually a partially finished quilt.  Only the last 3 rows remain to be quilted.

All four corners have one of these squares from the panel.  This one is Little Buddy's favorite.  It's a very stylized T. Rex.

I've got my work cut out for me this week, to finish the quilting, bind the quilt, and make a label.
But--my OMG for June is complete.
If it wasn't for the last minute, I'd never get anything done.

Cheers for reading, and thanks to Patty for the OMG.

Linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal--June Finish Link Up

OMG it's January

I'm doing new things in 2019, and this is one of them--participating in the OMG, Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal.
Goals are great for getting things done.

This project started as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt in 2017.  Above are photos from a year ago.

Here's where I am now--finally quilting!  I finished quilting the center section yesterday, but I'm kind of stuck on how to quilt the border.
So that's my goal--quilt the border on my Buckeye Beauty quilt, and bind it.

Thanks so much to Patty at Elm Street Quilts for hosting the OMG.  I think it's going to help lots of us knock down those UFOs, one month at a time.

Now I get to see what everybody else is planning!  Good luck and smooth stitching to all.
