September OMG (One Monthly Goal)

A pile of 8 twenty-four inch blocks consisting of 2 inch HSTs and squares webbed together. 
Now I need to sew all those rows together. That's one of the things I don't really like to do with all that pinning and HST point matching.  So I will make it my goal for September to turn this pile into...


...into a pile like this - the  eight 24 inch blocks already all nicely sewn together. 

I'm going to give myself a smiley face bonus if I actually get the 96 inch square top finished. 


I'd give a link to the free pattern download; however, since Coats sold Free Spirit the link no longer exists.

If (and when for sure) you get that quilt all together, you will deserve much more than a smiley face bonus! I would be stark-raving crazy to even attempt such a fete! I'm sure you'll get it done! ---

Fabulous progress!!!

I can still get to the pattern through the unbeehaved website -
http://unbeehaved.com/free-pattern-friday-february-23/
The link is down at the bottom of the post, just above where she signed it "Becky"
(I'm still glad I downloaded the pdf right away quick when I first found it. I've never been sorry that I saved a pattern, but I've frequently regretted hesitating while thinking I didn't really need it)

We will all give you kudos and smiley faces when you finish this fabulous top. A labor of love for sure! Enjoy your weekend!

Those large blocks look great - I think you should award yourself several smiley faces!

If you set your mind to it, you will get it done. I can almost feel it in my bones.

Can't wait to see this all sewn together. I'm glad I didn't succumb to starting this because I'd be way behind and all that pinning and matching would do me in.

You should get a giant smiley face bonus if you finish the top. That is a lot of points to match!

A smiley face will be the least you deserve, but it is going to be fabulous when you get it done.

I'm glad Gayle posted another link so I could grab the pattern. I don't think one is in my near future, but I'm enjoying watching it come together with all your great scraps :)

That is a wonderful pattern and in your bright colors it will be really stunning!

This has got to be tedious sewing it together, but wowsers, it's gonna be awesome when it's all sewn together!
