Quilting goals and 15 Minutes to Stitch

Travel over the Thanksgiving weekend has put me behind on my monthly blog posts. It has been tougher than usual to find time for quilting, but I did manage to do at least a little bit every day this month except for one day over the holiday weekend. I will be linking up with Kate's 15 Minutes to Stitch post over at Life in Pieces.

November wasn't my best month when it came to meeting the quilting goals I had set at the beginning of the month. However, I did complete the most important goal of finishing the hearts baby quilt in time to give it to my niece at Thanksgiving.

NOVEMBER GOALS
1. Quilt and bind the "Surrounded  by Love" baby quilt. DONE 11/23/14 and presented to the mother-to-be!




2.  Rainbow Scrap Challenge--make 6-8 LeMoyne Stars in November's color.  Made 12" stars in beige and white.




3.  Scrap Hexies--continue adding background to hexie stars & snowflakes.              Finished the background on blue and black stars.
4.  Tell It to the Stars--make 32 blocks for the pieced border  18 blocks done
5.  Make at least 30 blocks as part of the 350 Blocks Project  23 blocks done
6.  Spend at least 15 minutes each day quilting--cutting, sewing, designing, etc.
     29 out of 30 days. I am linking up to Kate's 15 Minutes to Stitch



December goals:
1.  Complete 3 Christmas gifts 
2.  Rainbow LeMoyne--assemble at least one quilt top
3.  Scrap Hexies--continue adding background to hexie stars & snowflakes. 
4.  Tell It to the Stars--finish making blocks for the pieced border
5.  Make at least 30 blocks as part of the 350 Blocks Project

There you have it, my quilting plans and goals for December and my results from November. Watch for the next update at the beginning of January.
