Were you able to complete this month's goal?

My goal this month was to quilt my Pink Grapefruit in Blue. I am sad to say that I failed to complete my goal. I had a bunch of plot twists this month and it just didn't happen. I had planned to do an edge-to-edge design because I don't love this quilt. I purchased a different backing because I didn't want to waste fabric I love on a project I don't.
Then I found myself unexpectedly purchasing a second long arm (a 2017 Lucey) and thought that maybe I'd custom quilt Pink Grapefruit in Blue after all since I now have a second machine that doesn't have a computer and therefore cannot aid in my work load. I don't really care for the replacement backing with the quilt top, but I was willing to overlook that.
I haven't managed to come up with a hand-guided quilting plan that I like. Additionally, the machine is still not fully assembled since we've had a bunch of other things come up that needed our attention more than this did.
So I failed to move my goal forward. I guess there's always next month. Will I choose this for a goal again or pivot to something else? Stay tuned.

Thank you! I hope that you'll enjoy your new machine, once it's all set up and running.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you yesterday when I was making a final push to get my muslin done before the end of the month. While I was thankful for the motivation on a month with a lot going on, I thought of how you have to get yours done earlier than the rest of us for the post. Thankfully life is much richer than one month's goals - even when it's a rough or busy month.
