just three {May}

It's May so it's time for 3 more goals with traceyjay quilts!

First, a review of progress on my April goals:
  1. Give machine binding a try and bind my rainbow Road Trip Quilt.  Done!
  2. Finish hand sewing a binding on a quilt.  So not done.  Now that I tried and succeeded with machine binding, hand binding seems dreadfully awful.
  3. Add borders to a Central Park disappearing nine patch panel and make the quilt sandwich.  I ended up finishing the whole quilt!  (This makes up for not completing goal #2, right?)
For May:
  1. Make a quilt with my polka dot pinwheel blocks.
  2. Sandwich, quilt and bind another quilt top that's been sitting in the pile for over a year.
  3. Make at least one simple strip quilt top using fabrics from my stash.  I'm making good on a goal to donate some blankets to Project Linus.

  1. Way to go Steph! I would say you did amazing in April!! I love the polka dot pinwheels, I'm thinking of doing the same with rainbow charms from a swap. I love the way yours look, excited to see how they come together!

  2. Wonderful goals! They all seem attainable. (and I've been handsewing the binding on a quilt for over a month... it is king-sized though, and I get carpal tunnel from hand stitching)...
    Can't wait to see the pinwheel blocks, too cute... and the Central Park quilt turned out beautiful! Thanks for linking up!
