Another month, another goal. I have a stack of quilt tops to quilt, so you would think my goal would lie somewhere in there.
However, I'm going to do something different this month. I have three little goals that I can work into one project. I just need the push to get started. Thank you, Elm Street Quilts!
#1: I really want to learn to free motion. I have used straight line or spiral motion for most of the 107 (!) quilts I've made so far. I really like the look, but I want to expand my repertoire.
#2: I also want to learn Quilt as You Go. I have a TON of batting scraps (hello, 107 quilts!) and I can only make so many microwave cozies. I'm planning to use Quilt As-You-Go by Jera Brandvig.
#3: Speaking of scraps, I want to start an Oops quilt of all my practice blocks, extras, and not quite right for the project blocks I have overflowing in a bin.
So my goal for May is to start my Oops quilt using free motion and QAYG techniques. I will work on this as I'm also tackling that big stack of quilts from the top of the page, so I'm making a modest goal of 5 blocks this month. I think once I get started, I'll really like it. I just need to get over my fears and dig in!

Here's a recap of other One Monthly Goals I have made.

Great goal! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your project.
ReplyDeleteI have that book as well Jen and I'm in the same boat as you for scraps. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Good luck.
