May Goal--Another Near Miss

My sewing goal for May was to finish enough star blocks to bring my current collection to 20.

I've got 14 completely done and 8 nearly there.  Soon I'll have 22.

 You may not be able to tell by my incomplete success, but Patty's One Monthly Goal IS a motivator for me.  I'm not typically a productive quilter and OMG gives me some focus.

Here is one of my distractions this month.  

I attended a workshop taught by Karen Eckmeier--Accidental Landscapes.  

She is a terrific teacher--encouraging and creative.  

I had a great time and my family is impressed with the progress on my project so far.

May One Monthly Goal: 10 More Star Blocks

I'm slowly, slowly progressing towards a king-size quilt for our bed.  

I've resized the no point stars block from Allison at Cluck Cluck Sew.

The last time I did any sewing was at my quilting retreat weekend in March.  I have cut more pieces (with only a few scraps left from each prewashed fat quarter) to make mini kits.

My goal for May is to finish sewing the half done March blocks plus my newly cut squares for a total of 20 completed blocks.  I'll then be 28% done with the 72 blocks I need for this quilt!  Honestly, if this is done by winter 2019 I'll be thrilled.

Thank you to Patty at Elm Street Quilts for the monthly inspiration.
