Don't you love it when you can accomplish a goal, especially by a self-imposed deadline?! I do. This was an interim goal, one step toward a completely finished quilt. But I do like to set smaller goals along the way to a grander finish. I'll celebrate big when the quilt is bound, washed, and dried. But for now, I'm pleased to have finished this smaller goal along the way to that bigger goal.
At the beginning of the month I wasn't sure I could finish appliqueing 72 circles onto 36 blocks by the end of the month, slow stitcher that I am. But by last Friday they were all stitched down--a goal met with a week to spare!
I love the look of all 36 layers of those creamy neutrals together.
Now I'm thinking about the next goal for these blocks and this quilt.

Excellent to have reached your goal with time to spare! I'm very glad February has an extra day this year as one of my goals was to catch up with a Bible reading plan by the end of the month and I certainly need the bonus day!
