One Monthly Goal Check In

It is time to see how I fared with my One Monthly Goal for September.

Back here, where I set my monthly goals, I aimed to stitch all the blocks from the Laundry Basket 2021 Mystery Quilt together.

This is what I started with.

This is what I ended with.  Goal achieved.

I still want to add a border.  There were options of an applique border, or a saw tooth star border, but I am too lazy to go that way. I had originally wanted to add a blue and white toile, that I have had in stash for over ten years, but it looked too washed out.  I have decided that I will use a faded red narrow border followed by the blue, which I have also had in stash for about fifteen years, when I bought it as an end of bolt for about one dollar a metre.  It has been used in lots of thing and I still love it.  I am pleased that this quilt will be made entirely from stash.

I actually had the blocks together a couple of weeks ago and had hoped to have the borders added by now, but that didn't happen.

So, that is all my stitching goals achieved for September.  Staying home definitely helps.

Thanks, as always to Patty.  Pop over to Elm Street Quilts, to see what the other ladies have achieved.
