February One Monthly Goal: The March of Graduation Quilts Continues

I've been home with a nasty cold since Monday. That definitely wasn't the plan for the end of January.  Thankfully I finished up January's One Monthly Goal before the crud took over.  Now it's time to contemplate the February One Monthly Goal. 

Elm Street Quilts
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.

    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!

    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.

    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?
