February One Monthly Goal

We woke up to the sound of sleet on the bedroom windows this morning.  Work sent out an email yesterday afternoon that due to the forecasted inclement weather and low temperatures everyone was to work from home for today and tomorrow.  So rather than bundling up to brave the cold, I'll just fire up the work computer when it's time to go to work. 

As it's a new month, it's time to decide on a new One Monthly Goal and link up with Elm Street Quilts. 

There are two projects that have May deadlines.  Cabins and Fans and Potions.  Cabins and Fans just needs to be trimmed and bound, but Potions is still under construction. 

Potions: design by Flying Parrot Quilts

The test tubes, beakers and all the spacer blocks are up on the design wall.  The last block left to make is the flasks.  I've gotten all the white and background pieces cut out for those.

All that's left to cut is the fabrics for the "liquid" part of the block.  That should get done tonight, then I can start assembling the blocks.  

Potions needs to be ready to go out for quilting by the beginning of April at the latest for it to be ready by graduation in May. The goal for February is to make all the flask blocks and assemble the quilt top.  Then all that will be left for March is to add any borders, get the backing pieced, clean up the quilt back and ship it out for quilting. That should be doable.
