snow days -where do I start

Part of my One monthly goal, was to assemble all the stitched pieces and finish the stitching on snow days. I haven't had it out since January, so I had to reacquaint myself with the random pieces and parts. I wasn't sure where to begin. I divided the parts from the extra fabric that I might still need.

The instructions are as big a book as war and peace. I scanned through them again.

And I finished the border pieces with stitchery and even pieced the very center.

Part 2 of my goal was to finish Christmas lights mystery quilt. Which I blogged about here.

And I also set a goal to cut out stella cyrana quilt which I did.

And I sewed most of the blocks together.

I met my goals and One monthly goal has been a big help. It is just enough to help me be accountable and not too much it is overwhelming.

Christmas lights

I have had a terrible time with my back lately. I haven't wanted to do much of anything. I visited a chiropractor and I think she was a little too rough. I am sure a little time will heal this. I have had scoliosis most of my life, but it has gotten worse.

 I did have a finish. This is my version of Christmas Lights mystery quilt from Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville. It was a 3 part series in Quiltmaker magazine January 2009. It is her 5th mystery and my 10th mystery finish. There are 5 more mysteries to go and 2 more that I started in different colors.
The next one in order is roll roll cotton boll. I have it pieced but it needs assembled.

Keeping with the Christmas theme that seems to consume my quilting year, I was gifted a bag of 4 inch Christmas squares. There were 120 of them and I cut background squares from my stash. I am sewing 9 patches with the hopes of making enough to make a disappearing 9 patch quilt.

My June goals

The next quiltville mystery quilt I need to finish is Christmas lights from 2009 quiltmaker magazine.
I need to add borders and quilt it to finish it. I am making this my June One monthly goal.

I think I see a border choice in the box and will know when I really dig back into the project.

I want to revisit stella Cyranna and my snow project from the first part of the year as part of my one monthly goal as well. Last month, my goal was to open stella and read about it, and that is all I did.

I know I hit a snag on this quilt, but I don't remember what it is. I will need to figure out where I was and what I still need to do.
