My One Monthly Goal continues from April. I want to continue quilting relatively straight lines across the color rows of this quilt.
As of this morning, I have completed 1 each of red, pink, and orange. There are 16 rows, so that leaves 13 to be done.
This close up helps show the stitching in the orange. Each row of colored blocks and the gray fabric at the edges of each color takes me one hour to do the quilting. I am not quick, there are basting stitches to remove along the way and wrestling this quilt takes a toll on my shoulders and back. I hope to do one color each day, with maybe nothing done on Thursdays, my Stitching Group day. Also, two granddaughter's have birthdays this month and our daughter will be home one of the weekends for a birthday celebration!
My OMG is this: Get the quilting done on this old UFO ! Fingers crossed.
Go go go!! you can do it - plus its a really cool quilt!
