I'm Missing Making a Block A Day

Although I am enjoying being plenty rested everyday, I am missing making a block a day.  It was fun to have a goal each evening and then watching as it progressed.  As I was sifting through my 366 blocks again the other day I realized that I need to be doing something, even if only for a few minutes each day.   So my new goal is to make one project a month using some of those 366 blocks and then work on another block of the month everyday.  I have a few BOMs that are all ready to go (meaning I have ALL the kits for the whole quilt), and if I do one or two blocks a day the quilt should be completely pieced in a short period of time.

I am going to start with my Stars and Sprigs quilt.  These are the pieced blocks for the first month.  I was also supposed to do three applique blocks a month.  I haven't decided yet if I am going to finish all the piecing and then do the applique or if I am going to do them at the same time.  I haven't quite decided yet if I am going to machine applique, blanket stitch, or hand applique those blocks.  There are a lot of leaves so once I start doing it one way, there is no going back.

My goal is to have this completed April 1 (which just happens to be April Fool's Day).  When I say completed, I mean totally finished and ready to use.  I'm not going to stress out if I don't complete it by then, but I am going to make a decent effort.  I have 84 days to finish 82 more blocks and some very busy borders.  Now to get to work.  Happy Stitching!!  --Kristen
