After a bit of struggle with my decision, my goal this month is to complete the backing and sandwich the I-Spy quilt top I finished last month, as my August goal. I find I am most successful with monthly goals when I select one in which decisions are already made, however, this is spread out on my design floor, making it difficult to walk about.
I am not sure where I am going with this yet, but I will use the four leftover blocks and go from there, with one or more of the fabrics you see strewn about.
This morning, the sun is streaming in to my happy place, making pictures more doable. Still not clear, but I think of them as snapshots. A little glimpse of daily life,
With all the I-Spy going on in my home lately, I decided to cut a charm pack to contribute to the September Prize-pool.
OK, Cheers to a productive September! Let's DO this thing!

So glad to join. Although I am late to the 2016 party, I hope to have a great finish to 2016. Hope I did it correctly.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I read design floor. I have a design wall but somehow it always ends up migrating to my floor as well, especially if I have more than 1 project going. By the way, I love the greens and grays that I see on the design wall. Good luck with your September goal.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing into the mind of another quilter, and into the work space, too. Thanks for sharing what yours looks like right now, and a little of your projects. Best of luck with your September goal. I didn't finish August because I never found the top, but sometime I will. =)
ReplyDeleteYou've got a lot of fun stuff going on in your sewing room. It is hard to pick just one project, but that's what makes the One Monthly Goal work so well. It just has to be one thing. Good luck with your September goal.
ReplyDeleteWhat a Great blog you have!
ReplyDeleteI have never done a goal-setting party but I'm very excited!!
It's a Great way to make sure you are getting something done!
Can't wait to see if I make it! ha!
Oh! This is so funny now! My September goal is to make a baby quilt and you are offering some "I Spy" cut outs. Beautiful coincidence I'd say. Love your Seattle quilt. Good luck with your September goal. ;^)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals. It makes sense to set ones that are achievable.
ReplyDeleteI so agree that it's easier to set a monthly goal in which design/creative decisions have already been made. Setting a time limit on creativity kills it (at least for me). Can't wait to see your I spy quilt all quilted. And I love those little 4-patch I spy squares. What a charming quilt they will make. Thanks for hosting the OMG link-up every month, Heidi. I appreciate it.

Congratulations on finishing your August goal and good luck with getting the quilting done. I agree with you on design but sometimes the finishes don't happen even without design, taking up the time.
ReplyDeleteI have been known to use the floor as a design space too, usually when I have stuff on the bed in the spare room, or someone is coming to stay and I have to move everything. Good luck with finishing your quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have lots of fun projects to choose from--good luck with your September goal!
ReplyDeleteLots of nice things happening at your place with fun fabrics.
ReplyDelete"I spy" a great finish for ya this month....I'm still admiring my I-spys so can't wait for your finish.
ReplyDeleteFound your blog and One Monthly Goal recently and it sounds like a wonderful idea. Thanks for the encouragement and good luck getting the backing pieced and the quilt sandwiched.
