March Accomplishments and April Goals

Before I jump into my March summary I wanted to share this photo that I found on my camera. This was from Monday or Tuesday night last week. It was a really pretty day and a lovely sunset.

March wasn't much for finishes but it was good for progress. I've made good progress on the Summer Sunset quilts. I had hoped to finish getting the tops together but I ran out of steam just before Craft Week. I feel a little more energy for getting them done now. 

At Craft Week I did start a new project and finished the top. This will be a gift for my SIL, Karen. It's her granddaughter that I make the doll dresses for. I'll order some chocolate brown minky for the backing for this.

My finishes for the month are these 2 crochet baby blankets. 

My goals were:
- Finish piecing the Summer Sunset top (little one done, big one is almost done)
- quilt 6 veterans quilts (quilted 2 with 2 more in progress)
- start quilting the postage stamp quilt (I'm taking the feather quilting class so focusing on practicing that on the veterans quilts)
- cut out Karen's animal print quilt (top done!)
- dye fabrics for the border to enlarge my vulture quilt (didn't start)
