Drama Teen asked me last year if I would make quilts for her best friends and her favorite teacher for graduation this year. So she gave me plenty of notice. One is finished (Zombie's in Paris) and the second has been sent out for quilting (Bejeweled). That leaves quilts 3 and 4 that have to be finished before May. The third quilt, Geometry has been up on the design wall since December.
The blocks are just big HSTs, so they go together pretty fast. I'm almost finished with the purple blocks. That leaves blue, green and yellow blocks that have to be made. February is a short month, and we have a wedding to attend the last weekend that will cut into my stitching time this month. Considering all that, my goal is to make all the blocks and get them into a finished flimsy by the end of the month. That should set me up to finish the back and get it out for quilting in March.
I'm also participating in Patchwork Times UFO-2017 this year (the more motivation the better). Geometry is #2 on my list, so I'm substituting it for whatever number Judy draws for February.

Sorry about the cold. Something good came of it--quilt time. That's so nice of you to make quilts for your daughter's friends and teacher.
You can do it, yes you can! Geometry is becoming my all-time favorite.
I totally love this quilt. Great color and design. All of these quilts have been so special. Feel better.
I really think Geometry is my favorite - so far - of all your graduation quilts. Good luck with your February OMG. Deadlines and commitments surely do help with motivation!
That Geometry quilt is looking really neat, can't wait to see the finished quilt! What a great mom you are for making those quilts.
You have some ambitious plans!!
Here's to hoping that you are feeling much much better--
we can't have our sewer's taking off too much time!!
Great goals=
emjoy the moments, di
Geometry is very similar to a mini quilt I just made, your larger blocks sound much better than my 1 inch finished ones though. I hope you feel better soon, there seems to be a lot of it about just now.
This is a fun project. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your February project.
I can't wait to see this finished.
Good Goal - we will egg you on... oh wait! I mean encourage you!! ha ha!
I'm loving this one!! Best of luck with the finishing.
That is so nice of you to make quilts for her friends and teacher, I am sure that they each will treasure them!
I just love geometry. I am sure it will be much loved by your daughter's friend as well. Do they know you're making them quilts?
Tell Drama Teen she has one heck of a mother!!! :)
