February 2025 PHD Report

No surprise that February went fast.  I just wasn't ready for how fast it went.  Now that we've moved into March, it's time to post a February PHD report and join the linky party over at P Designs USA.  

There's been no change in my PHD tracking sheet. 

No finishes, but no new starts either.  So not good, but not bad either.  Though I've not had any finishes, there has been progress on several projects.  

To get finishes, backings are needed. I didn't get very far with my plan to move Chocolate Marshmallows (Seabreeze Quilts) closer to finished, but I did at least find the fabrics and figured out how to piece the back. Moving this project closer to finished was my Chookshed Challenge for February.   

Progress on Wild and Goosy (Bonnie Hunter) was limited. I didn't get many blue blocks finished.  The March RSC color is yellow and all those blocks are finished.  I'll keep working on the blue blocks this month along with sashing the finished yellow blocks.  

Simply Sensational Summer Scrap Quilt (Kevin the Quilter) blocks continue to be my leaders and enders project this year.  I'm more than half way on each color. 

I had hoped to get farther along with the Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs) project during February.  I've made a lot of progress the last few days in prep for meeting the deadline for the quilt parade from this mystery.  All that progress will show up on the March report.  

The March block for the 2025 Guild BOM was finished. One quarter done with this project. 

Most of the month was spent working on the Stay at Home Round Robin project (Quilting Gail). I managed to finish border 5 by the end of February. There was a lot of progress on border 6 in March, but this is where the project was at the end of last month.   

Even with all the focus on one project, there was no change in my project tracking spreadsheet.  

Maybe not my best month for the PHD challenge. At least there was good progress on one project this month. The plan is to do better in March.
