RSC in dark greens....

I was kinda expecting purple or pink for May but Angela surprised us with dark and sage green.

That made my decision on my MAY One Monthly Goal easy.... get this quilt with sage green background quilted and bound this month!  I went searching and found a little over 2 yards of a 108 white flower print for the backing. No piecing needed! I have warm and natural on a roll. I was thinking a feather in those big areas... but I am not up to that on the machine so it will be straight lines in there instead!  Linking up with the OMG  at Elm Street Quilts for May.

I had made a green and cream scrappy log cabin last year and still have the bin of greens all set to play with this month.

I also checked the drawer for pre cut strips - found some of those as well.


Come back next week to see what I managed to get done with these scraps. Linking up with the RSC where no one seems to know what day of the week it is! All I know is Saturday is the only day I can sleep in and not really get dressed until close to noon.... and I kinda like that! I hear that the place where Emily rides is opening up on Tuesday following CDC guidelines. I will call today and get her in to ride - her on a horse in a big ring - pretty safe I think. The issue is where the parents sit. Last time I took her in March before we went on 'stay at home'  I took my own chair and sat far away from everyone so I will do that again this time.

Friday Emily had Art Specials due this week. Last week was music and the previous was PE. She had to make a 2 or 3 D mandella. We looked online and saw it was 3 circles inside each other. Similar to the adult coloring books with repeated patterns. This is what I came up with for mine. The teacher wanted it colorful.....

Someone took over my sewing space... and used my chair as a foot rest!

That was perfect timing for finishing up that OMG quilt! I've already been plotting out my green May, too, and I think finishing a quilt is on my list as well. Looks like coloring those mandalas was fun. When I was teaching, our art teacher often brought coloring supplies to start meetings so we could all relax first!

have fun with your goals - I haven't done the OMG this past month, I was too distracted and didn't know what I would want to get done with - I do hope to get my green fabric out this week and get the blocks made for the star quilt I am working on
