Try try again for April

OK, I didn't get any of my March goals completed, but I did get through a Round Robin that I got side tracked with.  But isn't the idea of this to finish UFOs, and all that material that was just hanging around in my closet (goodness knows what they were doing in there) taking up space, isn't that important to finish or rather use up part of this?  OK, maybe you think different from me but that's my story for getting side tracked and I'm sticking to it.  At least the round robin was completed and I can now put the quilting on the list.

So here's my list of things to do this month, and I'm hoping for at least three of them done.

1.  Quilt my round robin.  See here about the writeup and a link to see all of the ones done.  It's a large twin.  I'm going to put a sheet on the back and have it as a very light quilt for the summer.  No batting in it.

  

2.  Making more of the flowers above to add another 18" to the quilt to make it a queen.  I'm going to make the rows, quilt them, and then add them after the fact.

3.  The bird pattern is from SewFresh, an Ontario quilter and pattern designer.  I'm looking at the larger one for my aunt for her larger living room table, where the cat will live on it  lol.  She uses the sew and flip method which I really like.  I love all her patterns.

Look at that material, the colors are so vibrant. The background will be gray, like the picture.  The rest is all scraps, and I love using all of my scraps.

4.  Another one I want to complete is the pods you see here.  I got the pattern off of Etsy.  I've made 4 of them already, and sent them out as gifts and christmas gifts.  It's quick and easy.  

5.  My final one for this month.  I already made the pillow snake quilt.  My husband and I love Arizona, and I surprised him with this pillow when we came back from Scottsdale Arizona.  

The pattern is by Pen and Paper on Etsy.  I want to now do the cacti quilt and then in the corner the snake.  It will hang from my living room wall.  Hubby is bothering me for it.  

Here's my material, all left overs but not the backing, which looks like sand.  It's the same material I used for the pillow.  It's half cut out, so I need to finish that and then sew it, and the designer uses stitch and flip as well, my favorite way to make a quilt.  It will be one less container on my sewing room floor, always a good thing, lol!!

Joining up with One Monthly Goal at Stories at the Sewing Room, with others.  Hoping this will motivate me to finish a few quilts this month.  Wish me luck.  :)
