New to One Monthly Goal?  Welcome!  To join, share a photo of your project plus some words about what you want to accomplish in a blog post or Instagram post and add that photo to the link up.  Return at the end of the month and share your results.  (Results link up opens for the last 7 days of the month.)


My goal this month is to press 20 yards of fabric, sew them into a quilt top and quilt backing, and quilt and bind them into a new bedspread for my daughter. She's had her current one (a Pottery Barn kids pink quilt) for over 20 years! It's been in at least five houses throughout her childhood. Anyway, I thought it was time to replace that one since it's worn and stained. She wanted purple. I've moved it a bit more towards lavender since it's in my house and she is not. The walls are light blue and I'm not planning to repaint them.

This goal might be a bit aggressive. August will probably be emotionally tough for me since our son will be leaving for college. Maybe it will be good to have a challenging project to work on. I don't know. If I can get this done, it will remove two bolts of fabric (which are fluffy and big since I've already washed them) from my sewing closet. That would be great! I need more room in there.

Now it's your turn to link up. The link up will remain open through August 7.

The One Monthly Goal accomplishment link up will be available on August 25.  Make sure you add a link to this OMG post so others can find the OMG link up from your blog--just copy and paste this link into your post:
