I've had a tough time deciding what to focus on for February since there are so many things that I want to work on! I do want to finish hooking my Fraktur Floral rug this month and get it ready to bind, but was thinking that my OMG choice should be something that is a little farther from the finish line. So in the end I decided that I need to get busy on my Frolic! project to clear away all the piles of loose pieces that have accumulated on my treadle table (sadly because every other surface in my sewing room is covered with other things...). My goal for the month is to get the top assembled.
I need to figure out what to do with the borders to make it a little bit larger. I haven't done the math but it looks like increasing the number of blocks would make it too big. The pattern finishes at 82" square but I prefer to finish somewhere in the 90" to 96" range. I like what @mindyquilts did with her HST borders, making them into flying geese:
I've seen several finished tops with a plain outer border added which would be the easiest way to go. And then there's this one from @justlikegreatauntjulie. It turned out great but I am definitely not this ambitious!
Perhaps the geese arrangement with a plain outer border (4") would do the trick for me?
I'm linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal for February. My other goal for this month will be to post progress before the finish party ends...
