February is a shorter month, so I was a little hesitant to make a major goal for my One Monthly Goal (OMG). However, this UFO has been lingering far too long--it is my Row Along Quilt that I pieced way back in July 2013. I got it out after Xmas and got the borders on last month, embroidered my label, and pieced my backing which leaves quilting and binding.
I got it pinned this afternoon and started on the quilting. I hope to get the quilting done between tonight and tomorrow morning, so I can work on binding it during the Super Bowl for Slow Sunday Stitching: https://kathysquilts.blogspot.ca
We are not that enthusiastic about the Super Bowl, but we will be rooting for the Eagles and I am making Philly Cheesesteaks in the crock pot with some other goodies. At least we can rely on the commercials and Justin Timberlake to entertain us while I work on my binding!
Perfect quilt for your February goal. Make the most of the time if you are going to watch it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me like you have a great plan for an early finish. It is a gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lan, good luck with your goal.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your project.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goal! I'm rooting for The Eagles, too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that I'm not the only one who watches the Superbowl for commercials and the halftime show. Philly cheesesteaks sounds like a perfect way to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful quilt, Tanya! I'm sure you'll be stitching on that binding by 4:30! Your Philly cheese steak sandwiches sound yummy.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really pretty quilt! I will be quilting tonight also but I won't be watching football. :)
ReplyDeleteA bright and cheery row-by-row quilt. Hope you can work on the binding today.
ReplyDeletePretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteI guess that since I am in PA and no Steelers this year I'll root for the Eagles as well though I don't follow football very much.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt to dig out of the stash for a finish! :)
I hope you met your goal! Care to share your recipe for the Philly Cheese-steaks? I am a big fan of the crockpot!
ReplyDeleteYour Row Along is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI was sewing while the Super Bowl was on. We were rooting for the Eagles too since Carson Wentz, quarterback that was recently sidelined due to a torn ACL, is from our hometown and also graduated from our Alma Mater. We were sad he wasn't able to play but happy knowing that he helped get them there.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that at least you got your top done. Mine is still in pieces! Yours looks lovely. So much wonderful work!
Deletewow, wow!!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for sharing!

I'n not a Superbowl fan either; I used to tape it so I could watch the commercials and half time later. I'm looking forward to see your quilt all finished up; it sure is a beaut!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What a super fun quilt! I love all the rows ... it's a fabric story!
ReplyDeleteHey, I remember when these were running- yours is pretty! Nice OMG. I need to get cracking on mine. I have one more quilt to run through quickly, then I'll put my OMG on the frame.
ReplyDeleteDarling quilt top. I especially love the row of little fruits going every which way. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt top! I love it! :-)
