Link to One Monthly Goal: OMG It's August!

With a new month comes a new goal!
I have selected something fun, a new project even though I have not yet met my July goal (oops!).
Once I received my squares from the ISpy Swap hosted by Val's Quilting Studio, I began cutting out even novelties more from my stash.
Next thing you know, these four-patches began popping up!
My goal this month is to finish a top with these. That involves a decision on layout. I want it fairly big, so it's likely there will be more fussy-cutting of my stash before getting them all together!

I did manage to sandwich my (July goal)mini yesterday; perhaps I can catch up and finish both my goals this month.
What will you select for August?


Thank you ALL for participating!

BIG THANK YOU to our fabulous sponsors this month!!

Also in the prize-pool this month, a Fat Eighth bundle of Sandi Henderson; cut from my stash! I think all of these are from the Ginger Blossom line:

  10. OH HEIDI, so funny--my OMG goal for August is a new project too. I didn't know you were doing one also until after I had my write-up made, then read your post! It gave me a chuckle. Actually, I'm having envy issues with your I-Spy fabrics, so adorable! Best of luck to you for at least one finish.
