I've successful met my April goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes - Complete a top consisting of 120 six inch churn dash blocks made of civil war reproduction fabrics.
I knew I would be too busy to get it quilted and bound so didn't include that as part of my goal although I did purchase some muslin for the back, just in case.
My May goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes is to finish an ABC alphabet quilt for my niece Genevieve who is due in June. I participate in an Alphabet I Spy swap every year and go ahead and make up Happy Blocks so they are ready when I need them. I iron on textured letters. I'm going to replace S for Spaceships with S for Seattle Seahawks. Strange story about that. Years ago I received the Seahawks fabric by mistake when I placed an online order. I was told to keep it and actual order was later sent. I had no clue what to do with the fabric except to cut it up and use with other b/w fabric. Funny thing...last year when my niece got married I read that she got engaged at a Seattle Seahawks game. Who knew her fiance that she met in college in IA was from Seattle and loved the Seahawks!!!

What a funny story about the Seahawks fabric. Proof that sometimes it does work to hoard fabric "just in case" ;)
