orange crush - one monthly goal

Orange crush is finished. yahoo!!!

I had 2 quilts I wanted to finish for June, Maxine,

and Orange Crush a Bonnie Hunter design. this is a free pattern under the free pattern tab. It was the mystery quilt for 2008
One monthly goal has really helped me to finish quilts this year., which makes me more confident starting new ones that I might finish them.
My small quilting group is planning to start Jen Kingwell's Bring me flowers.

I have done 2 of her patterns- gypsy wife and happy birds, and they were very difficult. I think, instead of joining them on their quilt, I will do Glitter instead with them. I ordered the templates.

I think it looks easier, but I haven't tried it yet. I may be surprised.

I found this at the estate sale and thought it looked fun, but I have no idea how or what I will do with it.

My very first quilt was a sunbonnet Sue and overall sam for my first born son in 1978. I didn't know what I was doing, but I got it finished. It was more for decoration, since I thought a strong wind might take it apart. haha.

going bananas for a quilt finish

This is seriously the best cake and banana something I have ever tasted. I just loved it. I highly recommend checking this recipe and trying it. I did a lot of cooking while my Grandson was here. He eats like a teenager. I think his parents will have a hard time keeping him fed. I remember when his Dad left home we dropped from 7 gallons of milk a week to 2 gallons. good times....

I have a finish. This is a quilt kit I purchased in 2013.  I thought Maxine was actually cute.Maybe I identified with her quirky sense of humor. I finished it fairly quickly, but it has been in the "to be quilted" pile. I just used a free motion swirl. When I do free motion, I worry that I am not keeping it overall consistent. But, it seems to be, when I finally spread it out, just fine.

Orange Crush

A new month a new goal.

I have this on the frame - so I want to finish it and bind it.

 and my ufo 2017 and One monthly Goal for the month is Orange Crush from Bonnie Hunter and Quiltville.

I have it partially assembled and all the parts and pieces are ready.

In the same box, I found 2 boxy stars quilts in just the block stage. I won't put them on the list just yet, but maybe I can make some progress on them as well.

Although the Rainbow scrap color for the month of June is yellow, and this would count for that

Lots of potential and fun to look foward to doing.

Meanwhile, we are preparing to paint the house. Jared has helped take the ivy down before we power wash. We loved the ivy years ago when we bought the house. But not so much when it is time to paint.

But he doesn't come cheap.
