the all-expenses-paid trip). 

September [A Lovely Year of Finishes]

So there's this blog that's like Hey, post a WIP at the beginning of the month and then post it finished at the end of the month and enter for a prize! You know me, I love the idea of getting prizes. And this chance encourages me to have goals, too. Yay goals. I'm joining this month. Look at my goals:

I almost have all of the fabric cut for this new quilt I'm wanting to finish the top for this month. And then I'll put in in my growing pile of quilt tops that I need to quilt. HA!

And I can only enter once/month but this is another goal I have this month. Some lady that comes to the farmer's market each week wants me to recreate that Pocahontas doll for her mother using some special fabric and stuff. At first I was a little intimidated but now I'm just getting really excited. I hope I do it justice! 

Star Surround Quilt Top FINISHED!

 Contrary to Melissa's instructions, I am going to leave this in my To-Be-Quilted pile. It will make #3! Some day, hopefully before this year is out, I will have a quilt frame and a place to indefinitely keep a quilt up on a frame and I will have lots of people over at my house helping me quilt this for the Battle ALS with Flowers event in April. 

Just for fun, here's the block itself. Thanks Melissa for hosting this QAL! I can't wait for the next one.

Star Surround: Building Block Surround

 I could easily build the blocks now but I have other things to do. Melissa has this set up in super awesome easy to follow bites! One week left! 

Star Surround - Block Centers

Finished with this week's assignment! 

Now off to make more monkeys... Pbbt!

Star Surround Quilt-A-Long, first 4 "weeks"

So I decided on Monday, August 5 mind you, that I should join this quilt a long and try to get in for this week's prize. I'm going for a 32" block, 3x3 block layout. It's going to be huge!
Week 1: Monday: Fabric reqs:

 Week 2: cutting:

 Week 3: Half Square Triangles:

 Week 4: finished 10 minutes ago: Flying Geese:

Yay!

I'm doing another Quilt-A-Long. Why? I don't know. I don't have time for it. But I do have a wonderful service project concept that I will need quilt tops for.
