Friday Finish!

This block is A2 Mary Anns' Mum Garden. 
Do you set goals for yourself? I find that setting goals helps me keep on track.  This summer my quilting goal was to finish at least twelve blocks and piece my pumpkin seed quilt. I am doing pretty well on my applique blocks, but I really need to get going on the pumpkin seed!

    1. Thanks Kathie, It is such a pretty quilt, and I think finishing projects is something that was drilled into my head by my mom. I find setting little goals and challenging myself to do more detailed work, keeps me interested and happy with the results.

  2. I think my favorite blocks are the ones with the swirl stems with leaves.

    1. Thank you Audrey, I don't consider myself an expert, as this is only my fourth applique project. But, it does get easier the more I practice. I think back and remember how hard my hawaiian quilt was at the time I was doing it, now it would be a piece of cake.

  4. Absolutely gorgeous!! They are all lovely and I love the richness of the colours you have used. I set goals but find myself have to move the goalposts often..even when I think my goals are realistic!

    1. Thanks Raewyn, I don't always meet mine, but that is ok, but it does help to know that if I make an effort it will get done by goal date or close to it!
