ALOYF--December Finish

I have been so grateful to Melissa and Shanna for hosting ALOYF these past couple years.  I've pushed to get things done thanks to the motivation of posting and sharing.  I will miss the link-ups and monthly goal setting with them.

Welcome!

"Hello Handsome" quilting progress

Welcome!  To those of you who are new, thanks so much for stopping by.  A big thank-you to Amy over at Amy's Creative Side for featuring me today.  Truth be told, I was a bit star-struck when she contacted me =)  I religiously follow her Bloggers Quilt Festival in May and October.  I have a quilt kit awaiting attention that she designed both the quilt and fabric for. And I love her new fabric line that just showed up at my LQS, Chic Neutrals.

September ALOYF Goal

This month, I'm hoping to finish quilting my Hello Handsome quilt.  I started it back in March 2014 as one of my ALOYF goals, and I've been making progress in fits and starts.

April ALOYF Finish

I got my Hello Handsome quilt pieced together for this month's goal.

April ALOYF Goal

I decided that this month I will finish my "Hello, Handsome" quilt top.  I cut out and pieced all the individual units last year about this time

Just in the Nick of Time ...

My ALOYF March Finish (barely)

March Stash Bee Blocks

I finished my first block right at the beginning of the month, but because it was realitvely small, I wanted to do two, plus I'm just plain bad about mailing anything.  So it sat, and it sat ...  But I was so UNinspired for some reason.  It wasn't the block's fault--it's one of my faves and I hope to make a whole quilt of them someday.  It wasn't the colors that were requested--bright, colorful, happy colors.

ALOYF March Goal

This month, my goal continues my work on Rhett's Hello Handsome quilt.  Since I don't have as many sewing commitments, I hope to get a lot more work done on this.  With the cutting, sorting and marking out of the way my goal this month is to sew and trim all the HSTs and put them together into their 4-patch blocks.  Bonus for me would be completely piecing the top together.
