Week 26…I guess that means we are basically at the half way point to the year. Where did the time go. This week I need to get this quilt quilted. I have already put in 3.75 hours of work yesterday and you can see that I got plenty done.
Here is a close up of the quilting:
I have so much going on this week that this one feels impossible but I also do really well under pressure so I hope I can get it all done!
What is on your plate this week?
I have one goal this week, I need to piece this and add borders:
It was so hard cutting into my precious Half Moon Modern fabrics, but I am so happy with the end result.

I have lots of sewing projects to show off this week, if I could only get them photographed! Anne wore a dress I made her 2 weeks ago every single day last week and I didn’t manage to snap a picture of her once. She is just always on the move that girl.
This week I am working on the Modern Quilt Guild Michael Miller challenge. Our guild has a secondary challenge to use at least 3 of the fabrics. I am using all of them, and on the front this time too. I have a design in mind. Here is a sneak peek.
I’m envisioning this being square and finishing around 60×60. Today I am going to work on the center strip and see where I land. For the fans, I am using the long skinny ruler in the picture – it is a 10 degree wedge. I have it next to my standard dresden ruler because I was trying to give my mom a size comparison when we were on FaceTime last night. The ruler can do upwards of a 50″ circle but I didn’t have quite enough fabric to accomplish the 50″, I only had enough to do a 48″ half circle. I was all set with that plan when the idea of breaking them up into corners hit like lightening and I really love the direction it is going so far. Thank goodness for the design walls, they truly help me push my creative process!
Are you doing the Michael Miller Challenge too?
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?
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!
