since i was a january OMG flunkie, my goal is getting these two projects moving along in february. my official OMG will be the "stars in a time warp" finish....the quilting is about 2/3 done, thanks to a frigid and stormy weekend spent inside and some britbox binge watching. with the olympics coming up, lots more quilty time is on deck.
seven years isn't too long to a finish, do you think? me either....as for the current machine project, more s'mores were sewn for this and big enough for the design wall....
a couple of those blocks are too light and will need replacing...nearsightedness benefit is that from six feet away, details disappear and design clearly emerges....would like this to be a flimsy when march arrives, a possibility. the only other thing on my quilty plate is the february mini (in progress) and the small cross-stitch piece. *** now counting the days until family visit...here in maryland we are a mere 5-6 weeks to spring, regardless of the rodent...LOL! *** passed the 9-month anniversary of hip break and delighted that my leg continues to strengthen...blessings from other health positives and family issues, plus lengthening days, all help to relieve ongoing restraints from pandemic and just maybe the senior center will open sometime soon....
I remember SIATW on Barbara B's blog. What a great way to use a variety of repro prints. The Smores have a quiet glow. Glad you're getting healthier every day!
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best on your One Monthly Goal. Your S'mores quilt is looking great! It's one I hope to make sometime in the future.
ReplyDeleteYour stars quilt looks so inviting. That was a SAL I regret not joining.
ReplyDeleteOh, the S'mores quilt blocks are really adding up--good progress. I don't see any blocks that are "too light", BTW, but could be my monitor doesn't show colors properly.
Glad to hear you are seeing positives in the health arena!
Making progress on anything hand quilted is a miracle to me. I am glad you enjoy it. I think your S'mores blocks are fine, very pretty actually. I think you sometimes need a spark (contrast) here and there to make your quilt interesting. It has an aura of warmth to it. I just love the green sashing.
ReplyDeleteLoving these. Kind of late to catch up with you, but I have them on my list
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteI don't think there should be a time set on how long it takes to complete a quilt. I have been finishing up long ago begun projects. I just love your stars quilt and best of luck on your finishes.
ReplyDelete7 years is definitely acceptable
