A Lovely Year of Finishes–January 2014 Finish

January 24, 2014 by persimondreams 5 Comments

My Button

Since next week will be filled with ‘Closer Look’ Posts about the current Project QUITING Challenge (you still have time to join in the fun, by the way!) AND since I actually managed to FINISH my January goal I figured I post it on here right away.

My January goal was to finish the 8 remaining blocks of Bungalow Quilting and Yarn’s 2013 Paper Piecing Fairy Tale Block of the Month Quilt Along.  I had the four shown above already done when the month started.  Now, when I made this goal I may have forgotten about all the other projects I HAD to do this month because of deadlines.  My thinking as the time was getting tighter was that I wasn’t going to be that dumb the next month.  Instead I’d make a goal of something I had to do anyway.  But then I kept thinking about it and if I hadn’t set this as my goal this month there is no way I would have finished these blocks!  They would have just stayed in my ‘to do’ pile indefinitely.  So, I’m gong to make a goal on top of my goal each month.  I have to choose a goal that is not something that is DUE or HAS to be done that particular month anyway.  My goal has to be something extra that I would probably just set aside to do ‘when I have time’.

Even with everything going on – I managed to finish my goal of the 12 BOM blocks.  Woot!

I think all the blocks are fun and whimsical but I’m super happy with how my witch turned out!  The print on the green fabric I used for her face just happened to fall in the perfect spots!  I used Halloween printed fabric for my black cat which added just that extra bit of interest.  She’s scary and fabulous!

What am I going to do with these blocks?  Well – I’m adding them to the Aurifil 2013 Block of the Month Blocks I made last year.  I’m not quite ready to piece them all together yet though.  I discovered that the designer of these blocks, Bubble and Stitch, also has a 3 bowls block, a 3 bed block, and Snow White didn’t just have one dwarf – she had SEVEN…so I’m pretty sure I’m going to making six more dwarf’s.   Hmmm…I may have just figured out my February goal….
