We've made it through another month and it's time to share our progress.
This link up will remain open until March 31 at 11:55 pm EST.
Want to see everyone's goals? Check out the March goal page.
My list of goals were to bind Nancy's quilt, complete the Linda J. Hahn class quilt, and assemble & finish the Magnificent Mystery. I did finish off Nancy's quilt. I did not work on the Magnificent Mystery quilt at all, but I did quilt and bind the History Center quilt.
My official goal was to get the Linda J. Hahn top assembled. It once again came down to the wire, but I did eventually get there. I had many hiccups along the way. The star blocks were a total challenge to fit together. I ripped and resewed many, many times.
Then I went to sew the spire units to the stars and WHAT?! They don't fit. I figured out that I had cut the center strips 1/2" too large, so I had to disassemble one row of spires on each, trim off the excess, and resew everything. 
I got the center unit completed.
Here I am auditioning the skinny and outer borders. The instructions call for 1.5" finished and 3.5" finished, but I went with 1" finished for the skinny border because I thought the other was too heavy. 
Here is my finished top. I'll probably do some light custom quilting on this one. It's around 33" square.
Now it's your turn to share your finish (or your progress if you didn't quite make it to the finish line).
Take a few minutes to visit others, offer encouragement, and make new friends!
