My goal this month was to get my Magnificent Mystery quilt pieces sewn into a top. Here's how it looked at the beginning of the month. The half blocks were sewn and the rest needed to have the rows sewn into blocks.
Last week I had finally finished the pink and blue blocks. I think I sewed every intersection at least five times. 😟 
Saturday it was raining again and I thought I'd spend some time trying to get the green and blue blocks sewn. It took me around two and a half hours to get the seams aligned correctly and sewn on the 13 blocks. From there I thought I'd at least sew the half-block rows together before dinner. I almost wept with joy that there was nothing to really align. I could just sew, so I kept going. I got all but two seams sewn before dinner. I think it took about half an hour.
I finished up the last two seams yesterday! I really didn't think I'd be able to finish this goal this month, but, much to my surprise, I did. I am so glad this project is done. I like my fabrics, I like the quilt design, but I did not enjoy sewing this one. 
I'll need to figure out how I'm going to quilt it. It's definitely getting an edge-to-edge. But that's a goal for a different month. 🙂
Now it's your turn to share your finish (or your progress if you didn't quite make it to the finish line).
