A Friday Finish

Not Quite

My One Monthly Goal (OMG) was to finish the center portion of what I'm calling Poppies.  I posted on my progress here.

Poppies
Well, I made great headway at the beginning of the month, as evidenced by the above photo, but I felt it needed a little elongation top and bottom.  So I cut more diamonds for the sashing ...


... and that's as far as I got.  Two trips out of town and minor crises at home slowed me down.  So I came close to accomplishing my goal and I'm OK with that.  It should only be a matter of days before I can call it done.

I'm reporting in with Patty at Elm Street Quilts for the month-end talley.  Hop over there to see how other quilters managed their OMGs.

  1. What a great top this is -- your design is stellar. The additional diamonds for the outside sashing will really finish it off nicely. I think the name is perfect, too, especially with those "pops" of red! :)

  2. This is such a great setting solution. If we don't get done, making progress is the next best thing.

  9. Progress is progress, no matter how small. For me, just having the goal to motivate me to work on a project even just a little bit, is considered a win in my book.
