One Monthly Goal- April's Finish

We have survived April. The question is did we complete our goals or were we side tracked?  Check out my goal for April here.

More binding happening. I start with the charity quilt binding as it had been sewn on to the quilt already. so as far as I was concerned I was halfway through before I started.

Done.

My Fractured Paintbox was my next task. I hadn't even decided on the binding fabric yet. In the end I  used the charcoal grey fabric that I had used in the quilt. I got it ready and got to sew it on during our Project Uninterrupted Pajama Party which was held on Zoom. All of us in our sewing spaces at home but together via the internet. It was good to catch up with everyone who joined in.
 So I spent some evenings finishing the binding off and I can mark this one off my list.

I have linked post with Elm Street Quilt post, so pop over and check out how everyone did on their goals.

Fractured Paintbox Quilt

This is one of my project to be completed this year.  My Fractured Paintbox quilt was started last year. The beginning of the year saw me halfway through the blocks.

 So the first job was to finish the sub blocks.

 Then they had to sewn into the final blocks and add the sashing to join the blocks.

 I have made my blocks random but you can create a totally different look by keeping the same fabrics in each block.

 I have used Garden Delights fabric with Riley Blake Designs Confetti Cotton Charcoal. To me it feels like a formal garden.

Then came the final border. This would make a great first project if you are new to foundation paper piecing or to Quiltworx patterns.

Now to get it quilt it.

Until Next Time

September's One Monthly Goal

My goal for September was to finish my Fractured Paintbox blocks. You can read my original post here.
With the help of our annual retreat I just managed to complete them. They took longer than I expected.

I really enjoyed making these blocks and look forward to putting them together. The only problem with that is I have misplaced my pattern. I know they go together like this.

So I think I will have to choose some other project for October's goal unless I find the pattern in the next day or two.
