I’m so late in the day posting, but I’ve been trying to figure out my goal for this week. I am in a swapping group and I need to ship my 4th of July Swap by June 14th. So this week I am going to make something from this lovely pile of patriotic fabrics. I may add more once I find out a bit more about my partner.
What’s on your plate this week?
Wait! What? Does that say June?!? I’m so not ready for it to be June! I’m really not quite sure how this happened.
In fact, I may just pretend that it isn’t happening. LOL
It is time to set a June goal, now don’t laugh or anything, but the goal I am picking is kind of a hold over from May 2013 A Lovely Year of Finishes. Last May (like a whole year ago), my goal was to finish my Swoon top made out of Half Moon Modern – one of my all time favorite fabric lines. This June, I have decided it is time to make the backing for that quilt.
So there is the top. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this quilt and it is time to be able to use it rather than just stare at it in my UFO pile. Wish me luck!

Nothing like waiting until the very last minute to show my finish, right? I actually finished the top for this quilt about a week ago. Then I started making the back because I got a bit obsessed and then because I just couldn’t walk away, I quilted it too! Next up is binding and then pattern writing. Overall I am going to declare May a very successful month!
I couldn’t get a very good shot outside of the back, it was windy (as you might be able to tell in the picture above) and when I got inside and looked at the pictures they were all blurry. Darn you nature for messing with my quilt pictures!
I cannot wait to get this quilt bound! I am definitely entering it into our county fair this year, even if no one else loves it, I do!

Hi Everyone! I am so late today! I have been working my tail off to finish my Flowering Lone Star quilt and thought I would show you a progress shot. I had to take this picture with my iPhone because I couldn’t get the colors right on my expensive camera (go figure).
Caption it!
I hope you are having a very happy Hump Day!
I just realized I haven’t posted goals for the last 2 weeks. I swear, May has just been testing my resolve on every level! Moving on!
I have finished my new Flowering Lone Star, which if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you will have seen it already, and now I am working on the backing for it. My goal this week is to turn these stars into a backing for the quilt. I already have a quilting plan (which is a minor miracle!), so I am really excited to get this done!
What are your plans for this week? Are you finishing up your May Goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes? You can link up here if you are already done!
