March Goal Post
Hello, Big Bed Quilt-Alongers! Here we are at the end of March. It's time for another check in to celebrate reaching our monthly goals in this long term project.
In Pacing Yourself on a Long Term Project we talked about dividing your quilt-along goal into three smaller chunks, one for each month of our quilt-along. Have you completed your March tasks?
For me, the answer is... not quite. I have been sewing a Facing East block each Saturday. My last March block is scheduled for tomorrow, March 31st. I'll upload my photo of my March blocks once that is complete on Saturday or Sunday.
I also have some applique circles to attach tonight. Oh, deadlines. Sometimes we need them!
I can't believe that with tomorrow's block, I'll have a total of 33 Facing East blocks completed. And now, at long last, I am nearing the finish with just 3 blocks left. Wow! Little steps, little victories and in the end it's sure to be a quilt I'm going to be really, really proud of because it took such perseverance.
How about you? If you have made some progress, but haven't quite achieved what you'd hoped this March, take this moment to reassess your big-picture Big Bed Quilt-Along goal. There's still a whole month left - four weeks. What could you accomplish this April if you put your mind to it?
